Sorry, I'm not quite understanding what you said.

I keep node_set_online(nid) there. In boot phase if a node is online now it wil be 
reinitialized later by zone_sizes_init() else if a node is hotpluged after system is
up it will also be initialized by hotadd_new_pgdat() which falls into calling 
free_area_init_node().

Besides this I'm not sure there are any other dependency besides what you worry about,
while I tested this on a x86_64 numa system with hot-add nodes and the meminfo statics
looks right before and after hot-add memory.

thanks for your patient,
linfeng
