This seems like the right approach to me.  I have pointed out a few
stylistic issues below.

CodingStyle dictates that this should be:
unsigned long end_pfn = ((physbase + size - 1) >> PAGE_SHIFT);

Bad style.  I think the convention would be to write it like this:

struct node_active_region *
get_node_active_region(unsigned long start_pfn)

Since this is using the early_node_map[], should we mark the function
__mminit?
