Sorry, I think I have not understood your point.
So if there is something wrong, please let me know.
I don't think if only specify "movable_node" will fail KASLR.
Since in this patchset(3/4), only disable kernel mirror. KASLR in
current upstream code didn't parse "movable_node".

Yes, it's the reason why I make this patchset.
In my personal understanding, "movable_node" is a beginning why I make
this patchset, but not the whole reason.
Only "movable_node" specified might cause hotplug memory can't be
removed if kernel is located on that, so we need the help of
"immovable_mem=". "movable_node" help hotplug memory can be removed, and
"immovable_mem=" works for the same target, but just in kaslr.
So up to now, there is not a very tight coupling between "movable_node"
and "immovable_mem=". The independence of "immovable_mem=" is that,
help kaslr selects the right regions, avoid the memory in hotpluggable
NUMA nodes, which causes the memory can't removed. It's a independent
reason why we need a parameter like "immovable_mem=".
So I think we should also handle it if only specify "immovable_mem="
without "movable_node".
Thanks,
