While looking at node_states_check_changes_online, I saw some
confusing things I am not sure how it was supposed to work.

Right after entering the function, we find this:

if (N_MEMORY == N_NORMAL_MEMORY)
	zone_last = ZONE_MOVABLE;

This, unless I am missing something really obvious, is wrong.
N_MEMORY cannot really be equal to N_NORMAL_MEMORY.
My guess is that this wanted to be something like:

if (N_NORMAL_MEMORY == N_HIGH_MEMORY)

to check if we have CONFIG_HIGHMEM.

Later on, in the CONFIG_HICHMEM block, we have:

if (N_MEMORY == N_HIGH_MEMORY)
	zone_last = ZONE_MOVABLE;

This is also wrong, and will never be evaluated to true.

The thing is that besides this, the function can be simplified a bit.

- If the zone is whithin (0..ZONE_NORMAL], we need to set the node
  for node_state[N_NORMAL_MEMORY]
- If we have CONFIG_HIGHMEM, and the zone is within (0..ZONE_NORMAL],
  we need to set the node for node_state[N_HIGH_MEMORY], as
  N_HIGH_MEMORY stands for regular or high memory.
- Finally, we set the node for node_states[N_MEMORY].
  ZONE_MOVABLE ends up there.
