No, I don't think so.

If user specified like this:

1) movablemem_map=aaa@bbb ---------- will be added into array
2) movablemem_map=acpi ---------- will empty the array
3) movablemem_map=ccc@ddd ---------- will be added into array again (wrong!)

So, we need to code like this:

+ if (!strncmp(p, "acpi", max(4, strlen(p))))
+ movablemem_map.acpi = true;

In this way, 3) movablemem_map=ccc@ddd will not go into this if segment.

+
+ /*
+ * If user decide to use info from BIOS, all the other user specified
+ * ranges will be ingored.
+ */
+ if (movablemem_map.acpi) {
+ if (movablemem_map.nr_map) {
+ memset(movablemem_map.map, 0,
+ sizeof(struct movablemem_entry)
+ * movablemem_map.nr_map);
+ movablemem_map.nr_map = 0;
+ }
+ return 0;
+ }

But it will go into this if segment, and will not add the range into array.

Thanks. :)
