So your proposal is to drop set_node_online from the patch and add it as a separate one which handles
- sysfs part (i.e. do not register a node which doesn't span a physical address space)
- hotplug side of (drop the pgd allocation, register node lazily when a first memblocks are registered)

But I might be wrong.
No, not only the page allocator is not ready but slab allocator used by the generic implementation is not up yet either. I will look deeper into this later today but I suspect the only choice is to use the memblock allocator - same way the arch specific code allocates pgdats.
