Re: [PATCH v2 4/5] page_alloc: Make movablecore_map has higher priority

[Jiang Liu]

If we make "movablecore_map" take precedence over "movablecore/kernelcore",
the logic could be simplified. I think it's not so attractive to support
both "movablecore_map" and "movablecore/kernelcore" at the same time.
