Re: [PATCH v2 1/4] kaslr: parse the extended movable_node=nn[KMG]@ss[KMG]

Hi Chao,

Please think more on your patches, better to discuss with your
colleagues and ask them to help review before your post.

Firstly, apparently we can't make use of movable_node kernel parameter
and extend it to pass in the immovable_nodes. In fact we are passing in
the memory ranges which can be used for kernel data, not sure if
kernelcore= is OK, or we can make a new one.

Think more about this, or consult your colleagues, FJ has many experts
on mem hotplugging. Choose an proper one or create a new one.

I am fine we support 4 immvoable_mem for now. Please discuss with yor
colleagues, make sure if 4 is OK.

I know you try to imitate the function memblock_mark_hotplug(), but do
you really think you are marking the immovable mem regions? In below
code?

Even if use parse_immovable_mem_regions(), please do not use
mem_mark_immovable.

Please think of a better function name when you add immovable memory
regions parsing in. Clearly it's not a right name now.
