I think you might right. I have looked at the commit 9a30523066cd which introduces the sysfs
creation. I saw it create the sysfs for every possible node.

	for (nid = 0; nid < nr_node_ids; nid++)
		hugetlb_register_node(node);

And then I checked the commit 9b5e5d0fdc91, which said it was a preparation for handling
memory-less nodes via memory hotplug.

Yes.

I think we should.

So, yes.

Thanks for your review.
