Some platforms(32 bit) support logic-memory-hotplug.
Some platforms have movable memory.
They are all considered.

If we use flags, the semantic of "status_change_nid" is changed and we need to
change more current code, and we will add complicated to the memory hotplug
callbacks.
like this:
- node = arg->status_change_nid;
+ if (arg->status_change_flags & (1UL << N_HIGH_MEMORY))
+ node = arg->status_change_nid;
+ else
+ node = -1;

If we don't have HIGHMEM,
any node of N_NORMAL_MEMORY has 0...ZONE_MOVABLE
if we have HIGHMEM,
any node of N_NORMAL_MEMORY has 0...ZONE_NORMAL

"zone_idx(zone) <= zone_last" checks this case. the result is "else" branch.

I move old code up. the context does not changed.

I checked the pfn via "zone_idx(zone) <= zone_last".

Thank you very much for the review.
And sorry for so late respond.
