This patch introduces a zone_for_memory function in arch independent
code for arch_add_memory() using.
Many arch_add_memory() function simply selects ZONE_HIGHMEM or
ZONE_NORMAL and add new memory into it. However, with the existance of
ZONE_MOVABLE, the selection method should be carefully considered: if
new, higher memory is added after ZONE_MOVABLE is setup, the default
zone and ZONE_MOVABLE may overlap each other.
should_add_memory_movable() checks the status of ZONE_MOVABLE. If it has
already contain memory, compare the address of new memory and movable
memory. If new memory is higher than movable, it should be added into
ZONE_MOVABLE instead of default zone.
