Yeah, I think on x86, all memory-less and cpu-less nodes are offline as
default. Especially when hotunplugging cpus/memory, we set them offline
as well.
But as Michal mentioned, the node handling code is complicated and
differs between various architectures.

Is the kernel maybe mapping PXM 1 to node 0 in that case, because it
always requires node 0 to be online/contain memory? Would be interesting
what happens if you hotplug a DIMM to (QEMU )node 0 - if PXM 0 will be
mapped to node 1 then as well.
