Thank you for reviewing this work. Here nid equals to nid_begin:

See, "if" at 501, and this call is at 505.

492 void __init sparse_init(void)
493 {
494         unsigned long pnum_begin = first_present_section_nr();
495         int nid_begin = sparse_early_nid(__nr_to_section(pnum_begin));
496         unsigned long pnum_end, map_count = 1;
497
498         for_each_present_section_nr(pnum_begin + 1, pnum_end) {
499                 int nid = sparse_early_nid(__nr_to_section(pnum_end));
500
501                 if (nid == nid_begin) {
502                         map_count++;
503                         continue;
504                 }
505                 sparse_init_nid(nid, pnum_begin, pnum_end, map_count);
506                 nid_begin = nid;
507                 pnum_begin = pnum_end;
508                 map_count = 1;
509         }
510         sparse_init_nid(nid_begin, pnum_begin, pnum_end, map_count);
511         vmemmap_populate_print_last();
512 }

Thank you,
Pavel
