subsection bitmap was set/cleared when a section is added/removed, but
pfn_to_online_page() uses subsection bitmap to check if the page is
online, which is not accurate. It was working when a whole section is
added/removed during memory hotplug and hotremove. When the following
patches enable memory hotplug and hotremove for subsections,
subsection bitmap needs to be changed during page online/offline time,
otherwise, pfn_to_online_page() will not give right answers. Move the
subsection bitmap manipulation code from section_activate() to
online_mem_sections() and section_deactivate() to
offline_mem_sections(), respectively.

If I am not missing something, this is completely broken for devmem/ZONE_DEVICE that never onlines pages. But also when memory blocks are never onlined, this would be just wrong. Least thing you would need is a sub-section online map.

But glimpsing at patch #2, I'd rather stop right away digging deeper into this series :)

I think what would really help is drafting a design of how it all could look like and then first discussing the high-level design, investigating how it could play along with all existing users, existing workloads, and existing use cases. Proposing such changes without a clear picture in mind and a high-level overview might give you some unpleasant reactions from some of the developers around here ;)
