This line is probably too long already, but please leave it. If you
want to clean things up, please send a separate cleanup patch.

Are you still determined to add a zone like this? Hotplug will
eventually have to be done on all of the zones (NORMAL, DMA, etc...), so
it seems a bit shortsighted to add a zone like this. I think it would
be much more valuable to be able to attempt hotremove operations on any
zone, even if they are unlikely to succeed.

Could you pull this debugging code out, or put it in an out-of-line
function? Stuff like this in inline functions or macros just bloat
code.

Could you explain what you're trying to do with try_to_unmap() and why
all of the calls need to be changed?

What is this doing? Trying to filter off the highmem flag without
affecting the hotremove flag???

You might want to add a little comment here noting that this is for the
hotremove case only. No normal paths hit it.

I think it's safe to say that you need an aggregate config option for
this one :)

Normal Linux style is:

What is this check supposed to do?

Why is this memset unnecessary now?

What if, in the header you did this:
#ifndef CONFIG_MEMHOTPLUG
#define ZONE_HOTREMOVABLE ZONE_HIGHMEM
#endif

Then, you wouldn't need the #ifdef in the .c file.

There is way too much ifdef'ing going on in this code. The general
Linux rule is: no #ifdef's in .c files. This is a good example why :)

That code need to be separated out somehow. It's exceedingly hard to
understand what's going on.

Please make that __init __devinit, instead of using the #ifdef. That
will turn off the __init when CONFIG_HOTPLUG is turned on. BTW, you
should make HOTPLUGMEM dependent on CONFIG_HOTPLUG.
