-hugepages_treat_as_movable
-
-This parameter controls whether we can allocate hugepages from ZONE_MOVABLE
-or not. If set to non-zero, hugepages can be allocated from ZONE_MOVABLE.
-ZONE_MOVABLE is created when kernel boot parameter kernelcore= is specified,
-so this parameter has no effect if used without kernelcore=.
-
-Hugepage migration is now available in some situations which depend on the
-architecture and/or the hugepage size. If a hugepage supports migration,
-allocation from ZONE_MOVABLE is always enabled for the hugepage regardless
-of the value of this parameter.
-IOW, this parameter affects only non-migratable hugepages.
-
-Assuming that hugepages are not migratable in your system, one usecase of
-this parameter is that users can make hugepage pool more extensible by
-enabling the allocation from ZONE_MOVABLE. This is because on ZONE_MOVABLE
-page reclaim/migration/compaction work more and you can get contiguous
-memory more likely. Note that using ZONE_MOVABLE for non-migratable
-hugepages can do harm to other features like memory hotremove (because
-memory hotremove expects that memory blocks on ZONE_MOVABLE are always
-removable,) so it's a trade-off responsible for the users.
