Whee. After an extra rc release, 3.7 is now out. After a few more

This patch introduces a new array zone_movable_limit[] to store the
ZONE_MOVABLE limit from movablecore_map boot option for all nodes.
The function sanitize_zone_movable_limit() will find out to which
node the ranges in movable_map.map[] belongs, and calculates the
low boundary of ZONE_MOVABLE for
If kernelcore or movablecore is specified at the same time
with movablecore_map, movablecore_map will have higher
priority to be satisfied.
This patch will make find_zone_movable_pfns_for_nodes()
calculate zone_movable_pfn[] with the limit from
zone_movable_limit[].
