SubjectRE: [PATCH v3 2/2] mm: Introduce kernelcore=mirror option

1/64th is the absolute lower bound (for the page structures as you say). I
expect people will need to configure 10% or more to run any real workloads.

I made the memblock boot time allocator fall back to non-mirrored memory
if mirrored memory ran out. What happens in the run time allocator if the
non-movable zones run out of pages? Will we allocate kernel pages from movable
memory?
