Hi Peter,

I have tried to reserved movable memory from bootmem allocator, but the
ACPICA subsystem is initialized later than setting up movable zone.
So still trying to figure out a way to setup/reserve movable zones
according to information from static ACPI tables such as SRAT/MPST etc.

Regards!
