From: Zhang Yanfei <zhangyanfei@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Since we already has config MOVABLE_NODE, and the boot option
movablenode is introduced as the boot-time switch to disable
the effects of CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE=y when the system is booting.
So rename boot option movablenode to movable_node to match the
config MOVABLE_NODE. And also updates the description of MOVABLE_NODE
in mm/Kconfig and the description of movable_node in kernel doc.

- If all the memory ranges in the system are hotpluggable,

- Otherwise the kernel won't have enough memory to boot.

Allow a node to have only movable memory. Pages used by the kernel,
such as direct mapping pages cannot be migrated. So the corresponding
- memory device cannot be hotplugged. This option allows users to
- online all the memory of a node as movable memory so that the whole
- node can be hotplugged. Users who don't use the memory hotplug
- feature are fine with this option on since they don't online memory
- as movable.
+ memory device cannot be hotplugged. This option allows the following
+ two things:
+ - When the system is booting, node full of hotpluggable memory can
+ be arranged to have only movable memory so that the whole node can
+ be hotplugged. (need movable_node boot option specified).
+ - After the system is up, the option allows users to online all the
+ memory of a node as movable memory so that the whole node can be
+ hotplugged.
+
+ Users who don't use the memory hotplug feature are fine with this
+ option on since they don't specify movable_node boot option or they
+ don't online memory as movable.
Say Y here if you want to hotplug a whole node.
Say N here if you want kernel to use memory on all nodes evenly.
