+Subject: [PATCH] [BZ 156627] chmem: try to online memory to zone movable
+From: Gerald Schaefer <gerald.schaefer@de.ibm.com>
+
+Description:  chmem: try to online memory to zone movable
+Symptom:      Standby/reserved memory that is onlined with chmem will be set
+              online to zone normal, instead of zone movable, and so it is much
+              less likely to be able to be offlined again.
+Problem:      With recent kernels, the default zone for hotplug memory was
+              changed from zone movable to zone normal.
+Solution:     Let chmem first try to online memory to the zone movable, before
+              setting it online to the default zone.
+Reproduction: Set standby/reserved memory online with chmem, and check
+              /proc/zoneinfo for zone allocation.
