Re: [PATCH v2 4/5] page_alloc: Make movablecore_map has higher priority

From: Jiang Liu <hidden>
Date: 2012-12-05 15:43:41
Also in: lkml

If we make "movablecore_map" take precedence over "movablecore/kernelcore",
the logic could be simplified. I think it's not so attractive to support
both "movablecore_map" and "movablecore/kernelcore" at the same time.

If kernelcore or movablecore is specified at the same time
with movablecore_map, movablecore_map will have higher
priority to be satisfied.
This patch will make find_zone_movable_pfns_for_nodes()
calculate zone_movable_pfn[] with the limit from
zone_movable_limit[].
