They may be related, but that commit is not a replacement. The above patch ensures that
there are enough of the nodes initialized at startup to allow for memory hot-add into a
node that was not used at boot. (See 'setup_node_data' function in 'numa.c'.) That and
recording that the node was initialized.
I didn't see where any part of commit 3af229f2071f would touch the 'node_possible_map'
which is needed by 'numa.c' and 'workqueue.c'. The nodemask created and updated by
'mem_cgroup_may_update_nodemask()' does not appear to be the same mask.
