Dang! You are absolutely right. This explains the issue during the
remove_memory. I still fail to see how this makes any difference for the
sysfs file registration though. If anything the pgdat will be larger and
so try_offline_node would check also unrelated node0 but the code will
handle that and eventually offline the node1 anyway. /me still confused.

yes we should.

Thanks a lot!
