We should revert them all.

    page_alloc: bootmem limit with movablecore_map

It is totally misleading in the TITLE. Come on, what is movablecore_map?

It actually use movablemem_map to exclude some range during
memblock_find_in_range.

That make memblock less generic.

That patch is the base of the whole patchset.

Also you and Yasuaki keep saying: movablemem_map=srat.
But where is doc and code for it?
Looks like there is only movablemem_map=acpi.

I'm upset by this patchset.

Next time, please get Ack from TJ or Ben when you touch memblock code.
And at least make the TITLE is right.

Thanks

Yinghai
