Hi Yasuaki,

If udev onlines memory in descending order, like 3->2->1->0, it will
success, but we notifiy to udev in ascending order, like 0->1->2->3,
so the udev rules cannot online memory as movable, right?

The order should like 0->1->2->3, right? 3->2->1->0 will be failed.

Looks good to me.

How about add some comment in mm/Kconfig?
