numa: add CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE for movable-dedicated node
We need a node which only contains movable memory. This feature is very important for node hotplug. If a node has normal/highmem, the memory may be used by the kernel and can't be offlined. If the node only contains movable memory, we can offline the memory and the node. All are prepared, we can actually introduce N_MEMORY. add CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE make we can use it for movable-dedicated node [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix Kconfig text] Signed-off-by: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> Tested-by: Yasuaki Ishimatsu <isimatu.yasuaki@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Wen Congyang <wency@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: Jiang Liu <jiang.liu@huawei.com> Cc: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Minchan Kim <minchan.kim@gmail.com> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: Greg KH <greg@kroah.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
