Subject: [PART4 Patch v2 2/2] memory_hotplug: allow online/offline memory to result movable node

From: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@...fujitsu.com>

Now, memory management can handle movable node or nodes which don't have
any normal memory, so we can dynamic configure and add movable node by:
	online a ZONE_MOVABLE memory from a previous offline node
	offline the last normal memory which result a non-normal-memory-node

movable-node is very important for power-saving,
hardware partitioning and high-available-system(hardware fault management).
