+ * for the kernel.
+ *
+ * ACPI SRAT records all hotpluggable memory ranges. But before
+ * SRAT is parsed, we don't know about it.
+ *
+ * The kernel image is loaded into memory at very early time. We
+ * cannot prevent this anyway. So on NUMA system, we set any
+ * node the kernel resides in as un-hotpluggable.
+ *
+ * Since on modern servers, one node could have double-digit
+ * gigabytes memory, we can assume the memory around the kernel
+ * image is also un-hotpluggable. So before SRAT is parsed, just
+ * allocate memory near the kernel image to try the best to keep
+ * the kernel away from hotpluggable memory.
