Pages used by the kernel cannot be migrated. As a result, hotpluggable
memory used by the kernel cannot be hot-removed. So for memory
hotplug users, the kernel should not use hotpluggable memory.
Since now we have flags in memblock, we introduce a MEMBLK_HOTPLUGGABLE
flag to mark hotpluggable memory. At the early time, we use memblock to
reserve hotpluggable memory, and mark it with MEMBLK_HOTPLUGGABLE flag.
When the system is up, we free these memory with MEMBLK_HOTPLUGGABLE
flag to the buddy, and arrange them into ZONE_MOVABLE. In this way, the
kernel won't be able to use it.
This patch introduces MEMBLK_HOTPLUGGABLE flag, and an API to reserve
memory with MEMBLK_HOTPLUGGABLE flag. This is a preparation for the
coming patches.
