OK, we're getting into a mess here.  This patch fixes
update-n_high_memory-node-state-for-memory-hotadd.patch, but which patch
does update-n_high_memory-node-state-for-memory-hotadd.patch fix?

At present I just whacked
update-n_high_memory-node-state-for-memory-hotadd.patch at the end of
everything, but that was lazy of me and it ends up making a mess.
