+ 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.

+ help
+ Memory fragmentation introduced by ballooning might reduce
+ significantly the number of 2MB contiguous memory blocks that can be
+ used within a guest, thus imposing performance penalties associated
+ with the reduced number of transparent huge pages that could be used
+ by the guest workload. Allowing the compaction & migration for memory
+ pages enlisted as being part of memory balloon devices avoids the
+ scenario aforementioned and helps improving memory defragmentation.
