Hi Michal,

with linux-next as of today on s390 I see tons of messages like

bisect points to b323c049a999 ("mm, memory_hotplug: be more verbose for memory offline failures")
which is the first commit with which the messages appear.

Note: there is _no_ memory hotplug involved when these messages appear.

I don't know if it helps, but this is the contents of /proc/zoneinfo:
