Unmovable PG_offline pages: In paravirtualized environments, + * hotplugged memory blocks might only partially be managed by the + * buddy (e.g., via XEN-balloon, Hyper-V balloon, virtio-mem). The + * parts not manged by the buddy are unmovable PG_offline pages. In + * some cases (virtio-mem), such pages can be skipped during + * memory offlining, however, cannot be moved/allocated.
