OK so how did that happen?

The commit message for 3af229f2071f says:

    In practice, we never see a system with 256 NUMA nodes, and in fact, we
    do not support node hotplug on power in the first place, so the nodes
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    that are online when we come up are the nodes that will be present for
    the lifetime of this kernel.

Is that no longer true?

cheers
