Subject: mm, memory_hotplug: support movable_node for hotpluggable nodes
movable_node kernel parameter allows making hotpluggable NUMA nodes to put
all the hotplugable memory into movable zone which allows more or less
reliable memory hotremove. At least this is the case for the NUMA nodes
present during the boot (see find_zone_movable_pfns_for_nodes).
This is not the case for the memory hotplug, though.
echo online > /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryXYZ/state
will default to a kernel zone (usually ZONE_NORMAL) unless the particular
memblock is already in the movable zone range which is not the case
normally when onlining the memory from the udev rule context for a freshly
hotadded NUMA node. The only option currently is to have a special udev
rule to echo online_movable to all memblocks belonging to such a node
which is rather clumsy. Not to mention this is inconsistent as well
because what ended up in the movable zone during the boot will end up in a
kernel zone after hotremove & hotadd without special care.
It would be nice to reuse memblock_is_hotpluggable but the runtime hotplug
doesn't have that information available because the boot and hotplug paths
are not shared and it would be really non trivial to make them use the
same code path because the runtime hotplug doesn't play with the memblock
allocator at all.
Teach move_pfn_range that MMOP_ONLINE_KEEP can use the movable zone if
movable_node is enabled and the range doesn't overlap with the existing
normal zone. This should provide a reasonable default onlining strategy.
Strictly speaking the semantic is not identical with the boot time
initialization because find_zone_movable_pfns_for_nodes covers only the
hotplugable range as described by the BIOS/FW. From my experience this is
usually a full node though (except for Node0 which is special and never
goes away completely). If this turns out to be a problem in the real life
we can tweak the code to store hotplug flag into memblocks but let's keep
this simple now.

This may be changed in future.
