Hi Dave,

Is it means, first reserved region 0x40000000 - 0x40100000, then boot the kdump
kernel, so this region is not include in "numa_meminfo", and memblock.reserved
(0x40004000) is still MAX_NUMNODES from trim_snb_memory().

numa_clear_kernel_node_hotplug
{
...
for (i = 0; i < numa_meminfo.nr_blks; i++) {
struct numa_memblk *mb = &numa_meminfo.blk[i];

memblock_set_node(mb->start, mb->end - mb->start,
&memblock.reserved, mb->nid); // this will not reset 0x40004000's node, right?
}
...
}

Thanks
Xishi Qiu
