[PATCH 15/21] x86, acpi, numa: Don't reserve memory on nodes the kernel resides in.

From: Tang Chen
Date: Fri Jul 19 2013 - 04:02:35 EST


If all the memory ranges in SRAT are hotpluggable, we should not reserve all
of them in memblock. Otherwise the kernel won't have enough memory to boot.

And also, memblock will reserve some memory at early time, such initrd file,
kernel code and data segments, and so on. We cannot avoid these anyway.

So we make any node which the kernel resides in un-hotpluggable.

This patch introduces kernel_resides_in_range() to check if the kernel resides
in a memory range. And we can use this function to iterate memblock.reserve[],
and find out which node the kernel resides in. And then, even if the memory in
that node is hotpluggable, we don't reserve it.
