Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] mm: Introduce kernelcore=mirror option
This patch extends existing "kernelcore" option and
introduces kernelcore=mirror option. By specifying
"mirror" instead of specifying the amount of memory,
non-mirrored (non-reliable) region will be arranged
into ZONE_MOVABLE.
v1 -> v2:
- Refine so that the following case also can be
handled properly:
Node X: |MMMMMM------MMMMMM--------|
(legend) M: mirrored -: not mirrrored
In this case, ZONE_NORMAL and ZONE_MOVABLE are
arranged like bellow:
Node X: |MMMMMM------MMMMMM--------|
|ooooooxxxxxxooooooxxxxxxxx| ZONE_NORMAL
|ooooooxxxxxxoooooooo| ZONE_MOVABLE
(legend) o: present x: absent
v2 -> v3:
- change the option name from kernelcore=reliable
into kernelcore=mirror
- documentation fix so that users can understand
nn[KMS] and mirror are exclusive
