Thinking about it, it's possibly cleanest to send the altmap range along 
here.

Later memory onlining notifiers will only be notified about the actual 
!altmap part.

arg.altmap_start_pfn = start_pfn;
arg.altmap_nr_pages = nr_vmemmap_pages;
arg.start_pfn = start_pfn + nr_vmemmap_pages;
arg.nr_pages = nr_pages - nr_vmemmap_pages;

Use that for the two new notifiers only and document it. Thoughts?
