Subject: Re: [PATCH v5 4/4] mm: Defer ZONE_DEVICE page initialization to the
 point where we init pgmap

Why cannot you pull move_pfn_range_to_zone out of the hotplug lock? In
other words why are you making zone device even more special in the
generic hotplug code when it already has its own means to initialize the
pfn range by calling move_pfn_range_to_zone. Not to mention the code
duplication.

That being said I really dislike this patch.
