+         Allow a node to have only movable memory.  Pages used by the kernel,
+         such as direct mapping pages cannot be migrated.  So the corresponding
+         memory device cannot be hotplugged.  This option allows users to
+         online all the memory of a node as movable memory so that the whole
+         node can be hotplugged.  Users who don't use the memory hotplug
+         feature are fine with this option on since they don't online memory
+         as movable.

+         Say Y here if you want to hotplug a whole node.
+         Say N here if you want kernel to use memory on all nodes evenly.
