This seems to be already assuming pfn_valid() to be true. There's no
"pfn_to_section_nr(pfn) >= NR_MEM_SECTIONS" check and the comment
suggests as such, but...

This includes the pfn_valid() check itself. Why the discrepancy?
Somebody might develop code with !HOTPLUG and forget the check, and then
it starts breaking with HOTPLUG?

Shouldn't this be moved *below* the loop that initializes struct pages?
In the offline case you do mark sections offline before "tearing" struct
pages, so that should be symmetric.
