Right but the intent here is to catch any deviation in generic hotplug
semantics going forward.

Exactly, this will just ensure that we know about any change or a bug
in the generic framework. But if required, this additional check can
be enabled only with DEBUG_VM.

This can be reorganized in the above mentioned format as well. Without
much additional code or iteration, it might not need DEBUG_VM as well.
for (; pfn < end_pfn; pfn += PAGES_PER_SECTION) {
ms = __pfn_to_section(pfn);
if (!early_section(ms))
continue;
if (action == MEM_GOING_OFFLINE) {
pr_warn("Boot memory offlining attempted\n");
return NOTIFY_BAD;
}
else if (action == MEM_OFFLINE) {
pr_err("Boot memory offlined\n");
return NOTIFY_DONE;
}
}
return NOTIFY_OK;
