I got the MMOP_ONLINE_KEEP wrong here. Relying on allow_online_pfn_range
is wrong because that would lead to MMOP_ONLINE_MOVABLE by when there is
no ZONE_NORMAL while I believe we should online_kernel in that case.
Well the semantic of MMOP_ONLINE_KEEP is rathe fuzzy to me but I guess
it make some sense to online movable only when explicitly state or
_within_ and existing ZONE_MOVABLE. The following will fix this. I will
fold it into this patch.
