Isn't that just a bug in the auto-online code?

If I'm reading it right it's calling online_memory_block(). If that
doesn't cause the memory_block to be online that would puzzle me.


Also commit ec999072442a went into v4.8, so is memory hotplug broken
since then? If so we need to backport this or whatever fix we come up.

cheers
