The libnvdimm sub-system has suffered a series of hacks and broken
workarounds for the memory-hotplug implementation's awkward
section-aligned (128MB) granularity. For example the following backtrace
is emitted when attempting arch_add_memory() with physical address
ranges that intersect 'System RAM' (RAM) with 'Persistent Memory' (PMEM)
within a given section:

 WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 558 at kernel/memremap.c:300 devm_memremap_pages+0x3b5/0x4c0
 devm_memremap_pages attempted on mixed region [mem 0x200000000-0x2fbffffff flags 0x200]
 [..]
 Call Trace:
   dump_stack+0x86/0xc3
   __warn+0xcb/0xf0
   warn_slowpath_fmt+0x5f/0x80

   __wrap_devm_memremap_pages+0x58/0x70 [nfit_test_iomap]
   pmem_attach_disk+0x19a/0x440 [nd_pmem]

Recently it was discovered that the problem goes beyond RAM vs PMEM
collisions as some platform produce PMEM vs PMEM collisions within a
given section. The libnvdimm workaround for that case revealed that the
libnvdimm section-alignment-padding implementation has been broken for a
long while. A fix for that long-standing breakage introduces as many
problems as it solves as it would require a backward-incompatible change
to the namespace metadata interpretation. Instead of that dubious route
[1], address the root problem in the memory-hotplug implementation.

Just a sidenote: we do not bail out on -EEXIST, so it should be fine if we
stick with it.
But if not, I would then clean up sparse_add_section:

	else if (ms->usage->map_active) should be enough?

This puzzles me a bit.
I think we cannot have partially populated early sections, can we?
And how we even come to hot-add memory into those?

Could you please elaborate a bit here?

Uhm, if my eyes do not trick me, ret is only used for the return value from
sparse_index_init(), so this is not needed. Can we get rid of it?

Unfortunately I am running out of time, but I plan to keep reviewing this patch
in the next few days.

Good catch, folded the cleanup.

Yes, at boot memory need not be section aligned it has historically
been handled as a un-removable section of memory with holes.

Those sections are excluded from add_memory_resource() adding more
memory, but arch_add_memory() with sub-section support can fill in the
subsection holes in mem_map.

Yes, these can go.
