Damn, I thought they looked ok at the time. Clearly I didn't look carefully
enough.

I don't understand for sure what _solid means. I think you might mean the
opposite of "hole" but it's an unusual choice of words and I'm surprised
the boot-init API has to be expanded.

This is a typo of CONFIG_NODES_SPAN_OTHER_NODES, right?. In other words, it
would appear we are now unconditionally returning true and on systems where
nodes are spanning, we are going to initialise the PFNs twice and have PFNs
belonging to the wrong nodes.

This function name is confusing because it doesn't actually init
anything.

It feels like we are changing more than we need to. Could we achieve the same
fix by just altering early_pfn_in_nid() to return true if the PFN matches
the NID or is in a hole and ok to initialise. Something like this patch maybe?
