This if conditional adverbial clauses is not an complete sentence.

Sorry, Chao. I may not follow your old patch change, why the length of
immovable_mem is MAX_NUMNODES*2, is there any reason or basis?

Could you explain more about what is the old code in otherwise case you
want to go on?

Obviously, your patch log only covers this place of code. About renaming
process_mem_region() to slot_count(), and add another level of wrapper
process_mem_region(), may also need be mentioned in patch log.
