no, it could cause crash here

        /* Finally register nodes. */
        for_each_node_mask(nid, node_possible_map) {
                u64 start = (u64)max_pfn << PAGE_SHIFT;
                u64 end = 0;

                for (i = 0; i < mi->nr_blks; i++) {
                        if (nid != mi->blk[i].nid)
                                continue;
                        start = min(mi->blk[i].start, start);
                        end = max(mi->blk[i].end, end);
                }

could have some node without memory. and it could be set in node_possible_map, and it will have end = 0, and start max_pfn<<page_shift.

why touch that possible_map ?
online_map is for that purpose that state node have ram.
