Yea originally this is what I did, but I thought it would be wasting memory.

Nish,
The method I described should work for hotplug since it's using possible map
which AFAIK is static rather than the online map.
Regardless, the more simple solution to solve this issue would be to just
allocate nr_node_ids number of entries and use up extra memory.
I'll send a v2 after testing it.
