In our "auto-movable" memory onlining policy, we want to make decisions across memory blocks of a single memory device. Examples of memory devices include ACPI memory devices (in the simplest case a single DIMM) and virtio-mem. For now, we don't have a connection between a single memory block device and the real memory device. Each memory device consists of 1..X memory block devices. Let's logically group memory blocks belonging to the same memory device in "memory groups". Memory groups can span multiple physical ranges and a memory group itself does not contain any information regarding physical ranges, only properties (e.g., "max_pages") necessary for improved memory onlining. Introduce two memory group types: 1) Static memory group: E.g., a single ACPI memory device, consisting of 1..X memory resources. A memory group consists of 1..Y memory blocks. The whole group is added/removed in one go. If any part cannot get offlined, the whole group cannot be removed. 2) Dynamic memory group: E.g., a single virtio-mem device. Memory is dynamically added/removed in a fixed granularity, called a "unit", consisting of 1..X memory blocks. A unit is added/removed in one go. If any part of a unit cannot get offlined, the whole unit cannot be removed. In case of 1) we usually want either all memory managed by ZONE_MOVABLE or none. In case of 2) we usually want to have as many units as possible managed by ZONE_MOVABLE. We want a single unit to be of the same type. For now, memory groups are an internal concept that is not exposed to user space; we might want to change that in the future, though. add_memory() users can specify a mgid instead of a nid when passing the MHP_NID_IS_MGID flag.
