Peter,

Okay, let's close it. then please take the patch pasted below, which is the one without additional 
bitmask added.

x86: set hotpluggable nodes in nodes_possible_map

nodes_possible_map does not currently include nodes that have SRAT
entries that are all ACPI_SRAT_MEM_HOT_PLUGGABLE since the bit is cleared
in nodes_parsed if it does not have an online address range.

Unequivocally setting the bit in nodes_parsed is insufficient since
existing code, such as acpi_get_nodes(), assumes all nodes in the map
have online address ranges.  In fact, all code using nodes_parsed assumes
such nodes represent an address range of online memory.

nodes_possible_map is created by unioning nodes_parsed and
cpu_nodes_parsed; the former represents nodes with online memory and the
latter represents memoryless nodes.  We now set the bit for hotpluggable
nodes in cpu_nodes_parsed so that it also gets set in nodes_possible_map.
