Subject: Re: [RFC PATCH] memory-hotplug: add sysfs immovable_mem attribute

The result in my virtual machine looks like this:
[root@...alhost ~]# cat /sys/devices/system/memory/immovable_mem 
a0000@0,1f300000@...000,1f400000@...00000,1f400000@...00000,1f400000@...00000,1f400000@...00000,1f400000@...00000,4800000@...00000,1ac00000@...000000,1f400000@...c00000,1f400000@...000000,1f400000@...400000

Any comments will be welcome.

Thanks,
Chao Fan
