+ movablemem_map=acpi
+ [KNL,X86,IA-64,PPC] This parameter is similar to
+ memmap except it specifies the memory map of
+ ZONE_MOVABLE.
+ This option inform the kernel to use Hot Pluggable bit
+ in flags from SRAT from ACPI BIOS to determine which
+ memory devices could be hotplugged. The corresponding
+ memory ranges will be set as ZONE_MOVABLE.
+ NOTE: Whatever node the kernel resides in will always

+ movablemem_map=nn[KMG]@ss[KMG]
+ [KNL,X86,IA-64,PPC] This parameter is similar to
+ memmap except it specifies the memory map of
+ ZONE_MOVABLE.
+ If user specifies memory ranges, the info in SRAT will
+ be ingored. And it works like the following:
+ - If more ranges are all within one node, then from
+ lowest ss to the end of the node will be ZONE_MOVABLE.
+ - If a range is within a node, then from ss to the end
+ of the node will be ZONE_MOVABLE.
+ - If a range covers two or more nodes, then from ss to
+ the end of the 1st node will be ZONE_MOVABLE, and all
+ the rest nodes will only have ZONE_MOVABLE.
+ If memmap is specified at the same time, the
+ movablemem_map will be limited within the memmap
+ areas. If kernelcore or movablecore is also specified,
+ movablemem_map will have higher priority to be
+ satisfied. So the administrator should be careful that
+ the amount of movablemem_map areas are not too large.
+ Otherwise kernel won't have enough memory to start.
+ NOTE: We don't stop users specifying the node the
+ kernel resides in as hotpluggable so that this
+ option can be used as a workaround of firmware
+ bugs.
