+Embedded device command line partition
+=====================================================================
+
+Read block device partition table from command line.
+The partition used for fixed block device (eMMC) embedded device.
+It is no MBR, save storage space. Bootloader can be easily accessed
+by absolute address of data on the block device.
+Users can easily change the partition.
+
+The format for the command line is just like mtdparts:
+
+blkdevparts=<blkdev-def>[;<blkdev-def>]
+  <blkdev-def> := <blkdev-id>:<partdef>[,<partdef>]
+    <partdef> := <size>[@<offset>](part-name)
+
+<blkdev-id>
+    block device disk name, embedded device used fixed block device,
+    it's disk name also fixed. such as: mmcblk0, mmcblk1, mmcblk0boot0.
+
+<size>
+    partition size, in bytes, such as: 512, 1m, 1G.
+
+<offset>
+    partition start address, in bytes.
+
+(part-name)
+    partition name, kernel send uevent with "PARTNAME". application can create
+    a link to block device partition with the name "PARTNAME".
+    user space application can access partition by partition name.
+
+Example:
+    eMMC disk name is "mmcblk0" and "mmcblk0boot0"
+
+  bootargs:
+    'blkdevparts=mmcblk0:1G(data0),1G(data1),-;mmcblk0boot0:1m(boot),-(kernel)'
+
+  dmesg:
+    mmcblk0: p1(data0) p2(data1) p3()

 hugepages_treat_as_movable
 
-This parameter is only useful when kernelcore= is specified at boot time to
-create ZONE_MOVABLE for pages that may be reclaimed or migrated. Huge pages
-are not movable so are not normally allocated from ZONE_MOVABLE. A non-zero
-value written to hugepages_treat_as_movable allows huge pages to be allocated
-from ZONE_MOVABLE.
-
-Once enabled, the ZONE_MOVABLE is treated as an area of memory the huge
-pages pool can easily grow or shrink within. Assuming that applications are
-not running that mlock() a lot of memory, it is likely the huge pages pool
-can grow to the size of ZONE_MOVABLE by repeatedly entering the desired value
-into nr_hugepages and triggering page reclaim.
+This parameter controls whether we can allocate hugepages from ZONE_MOVABLE
+or not. If set to non-zero, hugepages can be allocated from ZONE_MOVABLE.
+ZONE_MOVABLE is created when kernel boot parameter kernelcore= is specified,
+so this parameter has no effect if used without kernelcore=.
+
+Hugepage migration is now available in some situations which depend on the
+architecture and/or the hugepage size. If a hugepage supports migration,
+allocation from ZONE_MOVABLE is always enabled for the hugepage regardless
+of the value of this parameter.
+IOW, this parameter affects only non-migratable hugepages.
+
+Assuming that hugepages are not migratable in your system, one usecase of
+this parameter is that users can make hugepage pool more extensible by
+enabling the allocation from ZONE_MOVABLE. This is because on ZONE_MOVABLE
+page reclaim/migration/compaction work more and you can get contiguous
+memory more likely. Note that using ZONE_MOVABLE for non-migratable
+hugepages can do harm to other features like memory hotremove (because
+memory hotremove expects that memory blocks on ZONE_MOVABLE are always
+removable,) so it's a trade-off responsible for the users.
