Let me try again:

movablemem_map is broken idea or poor design.

It just push down kernel memory from local node to some place.

It is ridiculous to let use specify mem range in command line to make
memory hotplug working.
Think about different memory layout conf, that will drive customer crazy.
Also not mention there is performance regarding put numa data low.

Right way or good pratice is:
Find out those kernel memory that can not be moved, either put them low
or make it to local node ram.

Thanks

Yinghai
