thanks for the updated patches.
I tested linux-next next-20130706 +part1+part2+part3 in a VM, hot-plugging
memory and rebooting with movablecore=acpi. I think with this patch and 9/15
we get the correct nids and the expected behaviour for the "movablecore=acpi"
option.

However, patches 21,22 of part1 and all part3 patches increase kernel usage
of local node memory by putting pagetables local to those nodes. Are these
pagetable pages accounted in part2's memblock_kernel_nodemask? It looks like
part1 and part3 of these patchsets contradict or make the goal of part2 more
difficult to achieve. (I will send more comments for part3 separately).

thanks,

- Vasilis
