-                       in flags from SRAT from ACPI BIOS to determine which

-                       memory ranges will be set as ZONE_MOVABLE.
-                       NOTE: Whatever node the kernel resides in will always

-                       [KNL,X86,IA-64,PPC] This parameter is similar to
-                       memmap except it specifies the memory map of
-                       ZONE_MOVABLE.
-                       If user specifies memory ranges, the info in SRAT will
-                       be ingored. And it works like the following:
-                       - If more ranges are all within one node, then from
-                         lowest ss to the end of the node will be ZONE_MOVABLE.
-                       - If a range is within a node, then from ss to the end
-                         of the node will be ZONE_MOVABLE.
-                       - If a range covers two or more nodes, then from ss to
-                         the end of the 1st node will be ZONE_MOVABLE, and all
-                         the rest nodes will only have ZONE_MOVABLE.
-                       If memmap is specified at the same time, the
-                       movablemem_map will be limited within the memmap
-                       areas. If kernelcore or movablecore is also specified,
-                       movablemem_map will have higher priority to be
-                       satisfied. So the administrator should be careful that
-                       the amount of movablemem_map areas are not too large.
-                       Otherwise kernel won't have enough memory to start.
-                       NOTE: We don't stop users specifying the node the
-                             kernel resides in as hotpluggable so that this
-                             option can be used as a workaround of firmware
-                              bugs.
