The memory tiers feature allows nodes with similar memory types
or performance characteristics to be grouped together in a
memory tier. However, there is currently no provision for
moving a node from one tier to another on demand.

Could you expand on why this is really needed/necessary? What is the
actual usecase?

Hi Michal Hock,

Following two use-cases we have observed.
1. It is not accurate to group similar memory types in the same tier,
   because even similar memory types may have different speed grades.

2. Some systems boots up with CXL devices and DRAM on the same memory-tier, we need a way to move the CXL nodes to the correct tier from the user space.

Regards,
Srini
