Now, memory management can handle movable node or nodes which don't have
any normal memory, so we can dynamic configure and add movable node by:
        online a ZONE_MOVABLE memory from a previous offline node
        offline the last normal memory which result a non-normal-memory-node

movable-node is very important for power-saving,
hardware partitioning and high-available-system(hardware fault management).
