Fine with me. I guess the section can never be offlined as it still contains reserved pages if not fully "fake-onlined" by HV code already. But we could still consider mem_hotplug_begin()/done() as we could have a online section although online_pages() has not completed yet. So we could actually touch some "semi onlined section".
