I will make sure those will appear in the mmotm git tree (I will
probably pull the whole tip/x86-mm-for-linus.

Thanks a lot for your testing! I will put your tested-by to patches
where you were on the CC explicitly (and which might affect zone device)
- mm, memory_hotplug: get rid of is_zone_device_section
- mm, memory_hotplug: do not associate hotadded memory to zones until
online
- mm, memory_hotplug: replace for_device by want_memblock in
arch_add_memory

Let me know if you want other patches as well.
