acpi, memory-hotplug: support getting hotplug info from SRAT
We now provide an option for users who don't want to specify physical
memory address in kernel commandline.
/*
* For movablemem_map=acpi:
*
* SRAT: |_____| |_____| |_________| |_________| ......
* node id: 0 1 1 2
* hotpluggable: n y y n
* movablemem_map: |_____| |_________|
*
* Using movablemem_map, we can prevent memblock from allocating memory
* on ZONE_MOVABLE at boot time.
*/
So user just specify movablemem_map=acpi, and the kernel will use
hotpluggable info in SRAT to determine which memory ranges should be set
as ZONE_MOVABLE.
NOTE: Using this way will cause NUMA performance down because the whole node
will be set as ZONE_MOVABLE, and kernel cannot use memory on it.
If users don't want to lose NUMA performance, just don't use it.
