Add a movablecore= parameter for sizing ZONE_MOVABLE
This patch adds a new parameter for sizing ZONE_MOVABLE called
movablecore=. While kernelcore= is used to specify the minimum amount of
memory that must be available for all allocation types, movablecore= is
used to specify the minimum amount of memory that is used for migratable
allocations. The amount of memory used for migratable allocations
determines how large the huge page pool could be dynamically resized to at
runtime for example.
How movablecore is actually handled is that the total number of pages in
the system is calculated and a value is set for kernelcore that is
kernelcore == totalpages - movablecore
Both kernelcore= and movablecore= can be safely specified at the same time.
