[PATCH v3 4/5] powerpc/mm: restore top-down allocation when using movable_node

[Reza Arbab <arbab@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

At boot, the movable_node option sets bottom-up memblock allocation.

This reduces the chance that, in the window before movable memory has
been identified, an allocation for the kernel might come from a movable
node. By going bottom-up, early allocations will most likely come from
the same node as the kernel image, which is necessarily in a nonmovable
node.

Then, once any known hotplug memory has been marked, allocation can be
reset back to top-down. On x86, this is done in numa_init(). This patch
does the same on power, in numa initmem_init().
