Hmm, I can make the cmd parameter available only when
CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP but I am not sure how helpful it would be.
AFAIR unrecognized options are just ignored. On the other hand debugging
why the parameter doesn't do anything might be really frustrating. Here
is the patch I will put on top of the two posted. Strictly speaking it
breaks the bisection but swithing the order would be kind of pointless
ifdefery game and I do not see it would matter all that much. I can
rework if you guys think otherwise though.

Subject: [PATCH] mm, memory_hotplug: move movable_node to the hotplug proper

movable_node_is_enabled is defined in memblock proper while it
is initialized from the memory hotplug proper. This is quite messy
and it makes a dependency between the two so move movable_node along
with the helper functions to memory_hotplug.

To make it more entertaining the kernel parameter is ignored unless
CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP=y because we do not have the node
information for each memblock otherwise. So let's warn when the option
is disabled.
