Potentially yes. Currently, the node map and related functions are marked 
__init so they become unavailable but that is not set in stone.

Right now during memory hot-add, the memory is not registered with 
add_active_range(), but it would be straight-forward to add the call to 
add_memory() of each architecture that supported hotplug for example.
