This doesn't make sense. start is not even a pfn. With linear mapping 
we try to identify nid to have the shadow on the same node as memory. But 
in this case we don't have memory or the corresponding shadow (yet),
we only install pgd/p4d.
I guess we could just use NUMA_NO_NODE.

The rest looks ok, so with that fixed:
