Right, setting up a memory hotplug callback for UMA kernels here isn't necessary although slab_node_prepare() would have to be defined unconditionally. I made this suggestion in my review of the patchset's initial version but it was left unchanged, so I'd rather see it included than otherwise stall out. This could always be enclosed in #ifdef CONFIG_NUMA later just like the callback in slub does.
