[PATCH 0/4] kaslr: extend movable_node to movable_node=nn[KMG]@ss[KMG]

[Chao Fan]

Here is a problem:
Here is a machine with several NUMA nodes and some of them are hot-pluggable.
It's not good for kernel to be extracted in the memory region of movable node.
But in current code, I print the address choosen by kaslr and found it may be
placed in movable node sometimes. To solve this problem, it's better to limit
the memory region choosen by kaslr to immovable node in kaslr.c. But the memory
infomation about if it's hot-pluggable is stored in ACPI SRAT table, which is
parsed after kernel is extracted. So we can't get the detail memory infomation
before extracting kernel.

So extend the movable_node to movable_node=nn@ss, in which nn means
the size of memory in *immovable* node, and ss means the start position of
this memory region. Then limit kaslr choose memory in these regions.

There are two policies:
1. Specify the memory region in *movable* node to avoid:
   Then we can use the existing mem_avoid to handle. But if the memory
   one movable node was separated by memory hole or different movable nodes
   are discontinuous, we don't know how many regions need to avoid.
   OTOH, we must avoid all of the movable memory, otherwise, kaslr may
   choose the wrong place.
2. Specify the memory region in "immovable* node to select:
   Only support 4 regions in this parameter. Then user can use two nodes
   at least for kaslr to choose, it's enough for the kernel to extract.
   At the same time, because we need only 4 new mem_vector, the usage
   of memory here is not too big.

PATCH 1/4 parse the extended movable_node=nn[KMG]@ss[KMG], then
	  store the memory regions.
PATCH 2/4 selects the memory region in immovable node when process
	  memmap.
PATCH 3/4 is the change of document.
PATCH 4/4 cleans up some little problems.

Chao Fan (4):
  kaslr: parse the extended movable_node=nn[KMG]@ss[KMG]
  kaslr: select the memory region in immovable node to process
  document: change the document for the extended movable_node
  kaslr: clean up a useless variable and some usless space
