Firstly, would it be possible to list all the dependant patches in that set, or is it just those few that are contiguous in Andrew's series file? A few comments -- can it be made configurable? I guess there is not much overhead if the zone is not populated, but there has been a fair bit of work towards taking out unneeded zones. Also, I don't really like the name kernelcore= to specify mem-sizeof movable zone. Could it be renamed and stated in the positive, like movable_mem= or reserve_movable_mem=? And can that option be written up in Documentation? What is the status of these patches? Are they working and pretty well ready to be merged for 2.6.23?
