Okay, let's recap. We should call add_pages()/__remove_pages()
and arch_add_memory()/arch_remove_memory() with the exact same ranges.

So with PHYS_PFN(res->start) and PHYS_PFN(resource_size(res)

Now, only a subset of the pages gets actually initialized,
meaning the NID and the ZONE we read could be stale.
That, we have to fix.

What about something like this (am I missing something?):

Subject: [PATCH] mm/memunmap: Don't access uninitialized memmap in
memunmap_pages()

With an altmap, the memmap falling into the reserved altmap space are
not initialized and, therefore, contain a garbage NID and a garbage
zone. Make sure to read the NID/zone from a memmap that was initialzed.

This fixes a kernel crash that is observed when destroying a namespace:
