	A) Introduction:

This patchset adds MOVABLE-dedicated node and online_movable for memory-management.

It is used for anti-fragmentation(hugepage, big-order allocation...),
hot-removal-of-memory(virtualization, power-conserve, move memory between systems
to make better utilities of memories).

This patchset is based on 650470d1da17c20bf9700f9446775a01cbda52c3 of newest tip tree.

	B) User Interface:

When users(big system manager) need config some node/memory as MOVABLE:
	1 Use kernelcore_max_addr=XX when boot
	2 Use movable_online hotplug action when running
We may introduce some more convenient interface, such as
	movable_node=NODE_LIST boot option.

	C) Patches

Patch1-3      Fix problems of the current code.(all related with hotplug)
Patch4        cleanup for node_state_attr
Patch5        introduce N_MEMORY
Patch6-18     use N_MEMORY instead N_HIGH_MEMORY.
              The patches are separated by subsystem,
              *these conversions was(must be) checked carefully*.
              Patch18 also changes the node_states initialization
Patch19       Add config to allow MOVABLE-dedicated node
Patch20-24    Add kernelcore_max_addr
Patch25,26       Add online_movable and online_kernel


	D) changes
change V4-v3
	rebase.
	online_movable/online_kernel can create a zone from empty
	or empyt a zone

change V3-v2:
	Proper nodemask management

change V2-V1:

The original V1 patchset of MOVABLE-dedicated node is here:
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mm/78122

The new V2 adds N_MEMORY and a notion of "MOVABLE-dedicated node".
And fix some related problems.

The orignal V1 patchset of "add online_movable" is here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/7/4/145

The new V2 discards the MIGRATE_HOTREMOVE approach, and use a more straight
implementation(only 1 patch).

  page_alloc.c: don't subtract unrelated memmap from zone's present
    pages

Yasuaki Ishimatsu (4):
  x86: get pg_data_t's memory from other node
  x86: use memblock_set_current_limit() to set memblock.current_limit
  memblock: limit memory address from memblock
  memblock: compare current_limit with end variable at
    memblock_find_in_range_node()
