* enum memblock_flags - definition of memory region attributes
* @MEMBLOCK_NONE: no special request
- * @MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG: hotpluggable region
+ * @MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG: memory region indicated in the firmware-provided memory
+ * map during early boot as hot(un)pluggable system RAM (e.g., memory range
+ * that might get hotunplugged later). With "movable_node" set on the kernel
+ * commandline, try keeping this memory region hotunpluggable. Does not apply
+ * to memblocks added ("hotplugged") after early boot.
* @MEMBLOCK_MIRROR: mirrored region
* @MEMBLOCK_NOMAP: don't add to kernel direct mapping and treat as
* reserved in the memory map; refer to memblock_mark_nomap() description
