        if (ma->flags & ACPI_SRAT_MEM_HOT_PLUGGABLE) {
                update_nodes_add(node, start, end);
                /* restore nodes[node] */
                *nd = oldnode;
                if ((nd->start | nd->end) == 0)
                        node_clear(node, nodes_parsed);
        }

removing clearing with nodes_parsed is not working?
