The trigger is memblock_reserve() for the complete node memory. And
this is exactly what FA_DUMP does. Here again the node has memory but
its all reserved so there is no free memory in the node.
Did you mean populated_zone() when you said zone_populated or have I
mistaken? populated_zone() does return 1 since it checks for
zone->present_pages.
