Why would they be meaningless? Counters will always reflect the actual
use - if not then it is a bug. And wrt to zone description what is
meaningless about
memory34/valid_zones:Normal
memory35/valid_zones:Normal Movable
memory36/valid_zones:Movable
memory37/valid_zones:Movable Normal
memory38/valid_zones:Movable Normal
memory39/valid_zones:Movable Normal
memory40/valid_zones:Normal
memory41/valid_zones:Movable
And
Node 1, zone Normal
pages free 65465
min 156
low 221
high 286
spanned 229376
present 65536
managed 65536
[...]
start_pfn: 1114112
Node 1, zone Movable
pages free 65443
min 156
low 221
high 286
spanned 196608
present 65536
managed 65536
[...]
start_pfn: 1179648
ranges are clearly defined as [start_pfn, start_pfn+managed] and managed
matches the number of onlined pages (256MB).
