    memory-hotplug: add sysfs valid_zones attribute · ed2f2400
    Zhang Zhen authored
    Currently memory-hotplug has two limits:
    
    1. If the memory block is in ZONE_NORMAL, you can change it to
       ZONE_MOVABLE, but this memory block must be adjacent to ZONE_MOVABLE.
    
    2. If the memory block is in ZONE_MOVABLE, you can change it to
       ZONE_NORMAL, but this memory block must be adjacent to ZONE_NORMAL.
    
    With this patch, we can easy to know a memory block can be onlined to
    which zone, and don't need to know the above two limits.
    
    Updated the related Documentation.
