Still broken, but in different way(s):

# cat /sys/devices/system/memory/memory16/valid_zones
Normal Movable
# echo online_movable > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory16/state
# cat /sys/devices/system/memory/memory16/valid_zones
Movable
# cat /sys/devices/system/memory/memory18/valid_zones
Movable
# echo online > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory18/state
# cat /sys/devices/system/memory/memory18/valid_zones
Normal    <--- should be Movable
# cat /sys/devices/system/memory/memory17/valid_zones
          <--- no output
