This patchset provide a boot option for user to specify ZONE_MOVABLE memory map for each node in the system. movablecore_map=nn[KMG]@ss[KMG] This option make sure memory range from ss to ss+nn is movable memory. 1) If the range is involved in a single node, then from ss to the end of the node will be ZONE_MOVABLE. 2) If the range covers two or more nodes, then from ss to the end of the node will be ZONE_MOVABLE, and all the other nodes will only have ZONE_MOVABLE. 3) If no range is in the node, then the node will have no ZONE_MOVABLE unless kernelcore or movablecore is specified. 4) This option could be specified at most MAX_NUMNODES times. 5) If kernelcore or movablecore is also specified, movablecore_map will have higher priority to be satisfied. 6) This option has no conflict with memmap option.
