+       kernelcore=nn[KMG]      [KNL,IA-32,IA-64,PPC,X86-64] This parameter
+                       specifies the amount of memory usable by the kernel
+                       for non-movable allocations.  The requested amount is
+                       spread evenly throughout all nodes in the system. The
+                       remaining memory in each node is used for Movable
+                       pages. In the event, a node is too small to have both
+                       kernelcore and Movable pages, kernelcore pages will
+                       take priority and other nodes will have a larger number
+                       of kernelcore pages.  The Movable zone is used for the
+                       allocation of pages that may be reclaimed or moved
+                       by the page migration subsystem.  This means that
+                       HugeTLB pages may not be allocated from this zone.
+                       Note that allocations like PTEs-from-HighMem still
+                       use the HighMem zone if it exists, and the Normal
+                       zone if it does not.

+       movablecore=nn[KMG]     [KNL,IA-32,IA-64,PPC,X86-64] This parameter
+                       is similar to kernelcore except it specifies the
+                       amount of memory used for migratable allocations.
+                       If both kernelcore and movablecore is specified,
+                       then kernelcore will be at *least* the specified
+                       value but may be more. If movablecore on its own
+                       is specified, the administrator must be careful
+                       that the amount of memory usable for all allocations
+                       is not too small.
