Good spot, this removes a nice amount of code. The changelog could say
more though, how about?

=====
Historically, x86-64 had an architecture-specific method for memory hotplug
whereby it scanned the SRAT for physical memory ranges that could be
potentially used for memory hot-add later. By reserving those ranges
without physical memory, the memmap would be allocated and left dormant
until needed. This depended on the DISCONTIG memory model which has been
removed so the code implementing HOTPLUG_RESERVE is now dead.

This patch removes the dead code used by MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE

Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt now needs to be updated to
remove the documentation on hotadd=.

Instead of ignoring the option, should a warning now be printed saying the
option is deprecated?

It's now very unclear what the purpose of this function is. I'm guessing it
should be something like

validate_hotadd_region()
This validates that the region of memory described by SRAT as suitable
for use with memory hot-add is sane

What it was for was to validate that the SRAT looked sane and then push out the
end of the node boundaries so that the memmap would get allocated. However,
because we are no longer pushing out the node boundaries, is this doing
anything useful at all any more? For sparsemem, memory-hotadd allocates
the memmap as it required.
