Hi,
I don't mean to offend, but I really think it is not necessary to do this.
hot-added memory will be added to ZONE_NORMAL by default. You can
modify it when you online memory. I think it is enough for users.
And a sysctl interface is also unnecessary. I think one default behaviour
is enough for kernel. We'd better keep it in the current way, or change it
and document it. It just makes no sense to enable users to modify it.
Can you please share any use case of this sysctl interface ?
I suggest just keep the current implement. But I'm OK with that if other
reviewers or users could clarify it is useful. :)
And BTW, please don't cc the following reviewers. Their email addresses
have changed.

Thanks. :)

After the user config CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE,
When the memory is hot added, should_add_memory_movable() return 0
because all zones including movable zone are empty,
so the memory that was hot added will be added to the normal zone
and the normal zone will be created firstly.
But we want the whole node to be added to movable zone defaultly.
So we change should_add_memory_movable(): if the user config
CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE and sysctl parameter hotadd_memory_as_movable and
the ZONE_NORMAL is empty or the pfn of the hot-added memory
is after the end of the ZONE_NORMAL it will always return 1
and all zones is empty at the same time,
so that the movable zone will be created firstly
and then the whole node will be added to movable zone defaultly.
If we want the node to be added to normal zone,
we can do it as follows:
"echo online_kernel > /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryXXX/state"
