We need something like kernelcore_max_addr=XX boot option to limit the kernelcore upper address. The memory with higher address will be migratable(movable) and they are easier to be offline(always ready to be offline when the system don't require so much memory). It makes things easy when we dynamic hot-add/remove memory, make better utilities of memories, and helps for THP. All kernelcore_max_addr=, kernelcore= and movablecore= can be safely specified at the same time(or any 2 of them).
