Hi Bao

That means the user should know the detail information of the srat
table, including the memory location and length. But I have no idea
that if it's elegant leaving it for users to fill the parameter.
BTW, it may be like this: "movable_node=xxx@start,xxx@start,..."
And I was also wondering if anyone has a better solution.

Thanks,
Chao Fan
