You can apply this patch without the other parts. But it only can work with
part1-5.
We need something like kernelcore_max_addr=XX boot option to limit the
kernelcore upper address.
The memory with higher address will be migratable(movable) and they
are easier to be offline(always ready to be offline when the system don't require
so much memory).
It makes things easy when we dynamic hot-add/remove memory, make better
utilities of memories, and helps for THP.
Lai Jiangshan (1):
page_alloc: add kernelcore_max_addr
Yasuaki Ishimatsu (4):
x86: get pg_data_t's memory from other node
x86: use memblock_set_current_limit() to set memblock.current_limit
memblock: limit memory address from memblock
memblock: compare current_limit with end variable at
memblock_find_in_range_node()
