[PATCH 20/21] x86, numa, acpi, memory-hotplug: Make movablecore=acpi have higher priority.

[Tang Chen <tangchen@cn.fujitsu.com>]

Arrange hotpluggable memory as ZONE_MOVABLE will cause NUMA performance down
because the kernel cannot use movable memory. For users who don't use memory
hotplug and who don't want to lose their NUMA performance, they need a way to
disable this functionality. So we improved movablecore boot option.

If users specify the original movablecore=nn@ss boot option, the kernel will
arrange [ss, ss+nn) as ZONE_MOVABLE. The kernelcore=nn@ss boot option is similar
except it specifies ZONE_NORMAL ranges.

Now, if users specify "movablecore=acpi" in kernel commandline, the kernel will
arrange hotpluggable memory in SRAT as ZONE_MOVABLE. And if users do this, all
the other movablecore=nn@ss and kernelcore=nn@ss options should be ignored.

For those who don't want this, just specify nothing. The kernel will act as
before.
