+ help
+ Allow a node to have only movable memory. Pages used by the kernel,
+ such as direct mapping pages cannot be migrated. So the corresponding
+ memory device cannot be hotplugged. This option allows users to
+ online all the memory of a node as movable memory so that the whole
+ node can be hotplugged. Users who don't use the memory hotplug
+ feature are fine with this option on since they don't online memory
+ as movable.
+
+ Say Y here if you want to hotplug a whole node.
+ Say N here if you want kernel to use memory on all nodes evenly.
# eventually, we can have this option just 'select SPARSEMEM'
