Inside has_unmovable_pages(), we have a comment describing how unmovable data could end up in ZONE_MOVABLE - via "movable_core". Also, besides checking if the first page in the pageblock is reserved, we don't perform any further checks in case of ZONE_MOVABLE. In case of memory offlining, we set REPORT_FAILURE, properly dump_page() the page and handle the error gracefully. alloc_contig_pages() users currently never allocate from ZONE_MOVABLE. E.g., hugetlb uses alloc_contig_pages() for the allocation of gigantic pages only, which will never end up on the MOVABLE zone (see htlb_alloc_mask()).
