Add a movablecore= parameter for sizing ZONE_MOVABLE

Browse Source 
This patch adds a new parameter for sizing ZONE_MOVABLE called
movablecore=.  While kernelcore= is used to specify the minimum amount of
memory that must be available for all allocation types, movablecore= is
used to specify the minimum amount of memory that is used for migratable
allocations.  The amount of memory used for migratable allocations
determines how large the huge page pool could be dynamically resized to at
runtime for example.

How movablecore is actually handled is that the total number of pages in
the system is calculated and a value is set for kernelcore that is

kernelcore == totalpages - movablecore

Both kernelcore= and movablecore= can be safely specified at the same time.

movablecore=nn[KMG] [KNL,IA-32,IA-64,PPC,X86-64] This parameter
is similar to kernelcore except it specifies the
amount of memory used for migratable allocations.
If both kernelcore and movablecore is specified,
then kernelcore will be at *least* the specified
value but may be more. If movablecore on its own
is specified, the administrator must be careful
that the amount of memory usable for all allocations
is not too small.
