David already pointed this out, but can check
arch/x86/mm/init_64.c:free_pagetable().

You will see that we have to do some magic for bootmem memory (DIMMs
which were not hotplugged but already present)

I will comment on the patch where you add support for hotplug and the
dependency, but on a track in LSFMM today, we decided that most likely
we will drop memory-hotplug support for !CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP
environments.
So, since you are adding this plain fresh, please consider to tight the
hotplug dependency to CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP.
As a bonus, you will only have to maintain one flavour of functions.
