The comment for commit c78e93630d15 ("mm: do not walk all of
system memory during show_mem") indicates it "also corrects the
reporting of HighMem as HighMem/MovableOnly as ZONE_MOVABLE has
similar problems to HighMem with respect to lowmem/highmem
exhaustion."
Presuming the similar problems are with regard to the general
exclusion of kernel allocations from either zone, I believe it
makes sense to include all ZONE_MOVABLE memory even on systems
without HighMem.
To the extent that this was the intent of the original commit I
have included a "Fixes" tag, but it seems unnecessary to submit
to linux-stable.
