memblock, mem_hotplug: make memblock skip hotpluggable regions if needed
Linux kernel cannot migrate pages used by the kernel. As a result,
hotpluggable memory used by the kernel won't be able to be hot-removed.
To solve this problem, the basic idea is to prevent memblock from
allocating hotpluggable memory for the kernel at early time, and arrange
all hotpluggable memory in ACPI SRAT(System Resource Affinity Table) as
ZONE_MOVABLE when initializing zones.
In the previous patches, we have marked hotpluggable memory regions with
MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG flag in memblock.memory.
In this patch, we make memblock skip these hotpluggable memory regions
in the default top-down allocation function if movable_node boot option
is specified.
