[PATCH part2 v2 7/8] memblock, mem_hotplug: Make memblock skip hotpluggableregions if needed

[Zhang Yanfei]

From: Tang Chen <tangchen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Linux kernel cannot migrate pages used by the kernel. As a result, hotpluggable
memory used by the kernel won't be able to be hot-removed. To solve this
problem, the basic idea is to prevent memblock from allocating hotpluggable
memory for the kernel at early time, and arrange all hotpluggable memory in
ACPI SRAT(System Resource Affinity Table) as ZONE_MOVABLE when initializing
zones.

In the previous patches, we have marked hotpluggable memory regions with
MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG flag in memblock.memory.

In this patch, we make memblock skip these hotpluggable memory regions in
the default top-down allocation function if movable_node boot option is
specified.
