A) Introduction:
This patchset adds MOVABLE-dedicated node and online_movable for
memory-management.
It is used for anti-fragmentation(hugepage, big-order allocation...),
hot-removal-of-memory(virtualization, power-conserve, move memory between
systems
to make better utilities of memories).
This patchset is based on 650470d1da17c20bf9700f9446775a01cbda52c3 of newest
tip tree.
B) User Interface:
When users(big system manager) need config some node/memory as MOVABLE:
1 Use kernelcore_max_addr=XX when boot
2 Use movable_online hotplug action when running
We may introduce some more convenient interface, such as
movable_node=NODE_LIST boot option.
C) Patches
Patch1-3 Fix problems of the current code.(all related with hotplug)
Patch4 cleanup for node_state_attr
Patch5 introduce N_MEMORY
Patch6-18 use N_MEMORY instead N_HIGH_MEMORY.
The patches are separated by subsystem,
*these conversions was(must be) checked carefully*.
Patch18 also changes the node_states initialization
Patch19 Add config to allow MOVABLE-dedicated node
Patch20-24 Add kernelcore_max_addr
Patch25,26 Add online_movable and online_kernel
D) changes
change V4-v3
rebase.
online_movable/online_kernel can create a zone from empty
or empyt a zone
change V3-v2:
Proper nodemask management
change V2-V1:
The original V1 patchset of MOVABLE-dedicated node is here:
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mm/78122
The new V2 adds N_MEMORY and a notion of "MOVABLE-dedicated node".
And fix some related problems.
The orignal V1 patchset of "add online_movable" is here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/7/4/145
The new V2 discards the MIGRATE_HOTREMOVE approach, and use a more straight
implementation(only 1 patch).

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()
