will add more:


set memblock nid will cause membock layout change like array could be doubled.
and we do not have current memblock limit set, so will put down under
1M and could
use too much under 1M.
And for fallback path, we can avoid restore memblock and remerge action.


After We use numa_meminfo nid for checking, we don't need to send it again.


Thanks
