 	  Allow a node to have only movable memory.  Pages used by the kernel,
 	  such as direct mapping pages cannot be migrated.  So the corresponding
-	  memory device cannot be hotplugged.  This option allows users to
-	  online all the memory of a node as movable memory so that the whole
-	  node can be hotplugged.  Users who don't use the memory hotplug
-	  feature are fine with this option on since they don't online memory
-	  as movable.
+	  memory device cannot be hotplugged.  This option allows the following
+	  two things:
+	  - When the system is booting, node full of hotpluggable memory can
+	  be arranged to have only movable memory so that the whole node can
+	  be hot-removed. (need movable_node boot option specified).
+	  - After the system is up, the option allows users to online all the
+	  memory of a node as movable memory so that the whole node can be
+	  hot-removed.
+
+	  Users who don't use the memory hotplug feature are fine with this
+	  option on since they don't specify movable_node boot option or they
+	  don't online memory as movable.
 
 	  Say Y here if you want to hotplug a whole node.
 	  Say N here if you want kernel to use memory on all nodes evenly.
