Btw. while starting into the code I think that allow_online_pfn_range is
also wrong and we need the following
diff --git a/mm/memory_hotplug.c b/mm/memory_hotplug.c
index 94e96ca790f6..035165ceefef 100644

if (online_type == MMOP_ONLINE_KERNEL) {
- if (!populated_zone(movable_zone))
+ if (!movable_zone->spanned_pages)
return true;
return movable_zone->zone_start_pfn >= pfn + nr_pages;
} else if (online_type == MMOP_ONLINE_MOVABLE) {

because we would allow ZONE_NORMAL after the full movable zone has been
offlined.
