[PATCH] mem-hotplug: introduce movablenodes boot option for memory hotplug debugging

From: Xishi Qiu
Date: Tue Aug 19 2014 - 06:03:01 EST


This patch introduces a new boot option "movablenodes". This parameter
depends on movable_node, it is used for debugging memory hotplug.
Instead SRAT specifies which memory is hotpluggable.

e.g. movable_node movablenodes=1,2,4

It means nodes 1,2,4 will be set to movable nodes, the other nodes are
unmovable nodes. Usually movable nodes are parsed from SRAT table which
offered by BIOS.
