Do we really *need* the memory hotplug notifier and the added complexity
due for handling memory-less nodes?
Why can't we simply register/unregister sysfs entries in
register_node/unregister_node and call it a day?
TBH, we should just have sysfs entries for memory-less nodes and not
care about such (corner) cases.
