+ACPI based CPU and Memory hotplug testing
+=========================================
+
+Assumption
+----------
+* The system has two or more ACPI container devices. The HID is 'ACPI0004'.
+* The CPU (HID: ACPI0007) and memory (HID: PNP0C80) belong to the ACPI
+container device. For example of the structure in sysfs is as follows.
+
+[source]
+--------------
+/sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/device:00/ACPI0004:03/
+├── ACPI0007:168
+├── ACPI0007:169
+...
+├── PNP0C80:06
+├── PNP0C80:07
+...
+--------------
+
+* The memory has Hot Pluggable affinity in Memory Affinity Structure, SRAT.
+If the memory has Hot Pluggable affinity, you can see the following 'hotplug'
+keyword in dmesg.
+
+[source]
+--------------
+SRAT: Node 2 PXM 6 [mem 0x180000000000-0x1bffffffffff] hotplug
+SRAT: Node 3 PXM 7 [mem 0x1c0000000000-0x1fffffffffff] hotplug
+--------------
+* The memory is marked as 'Movable' which is available when movable_node
+kernel option is set.
+
+* There are one or more memory node in the container device and the memory
+node has 'Movable zone' only, not mixed the other zones. You can check
+such memory node from /proc/pagetypeinfo or /proc/zoneinfo. The example
+of /proc/pagetypeinfo is as follows.
