Patch series "mm / virtio-mem: support ZONE_MOVABLE", v5. When introducing virtio-mem, the semantics of ZONE_MOVABLE were rather unclear, which is why we special-cased ZONE_MOVABLE such that partially plugged blocks would never end up in ZONE_MOVABLE. Now that the semantics are much clearer (and are documented in patch #6), let's support partially plugged memory blocks in ZONE_MOVABLE, allowing partially plugged memory blocks to be online to ZONE_MOVABLE and also unplugging from such memory blocks. This avoids surprises when onlining of memory blocks suddenly fails, just because they are not completely populated by virtio-mem (yet). This is especially helpful for testing, but also paves the way for virtio-mem optimizations, allowing more memory to get reliably unplugged. Cleanup has_unmovable_pages() and set_migratetype_isolate(), providing better documentation of how ZONE_MOVABLE interacts with different kind of unmovable pages (memory offlining vs. alloc_contig_range()). This patch (of 6): Let's move the split comment regarding bootmem allocations and memory holes, especially in the context of ZONE_MOVABLE, to the PageReserved() check.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
