Subject: add remove_memory() for ppc64
From: Badari Pulavarty <pbadari@us.ibm.com>

remove_memory() is common across ia64, ppc64.  There is no point in
providing exactly same arch-specific routines.  Make this generic and add
arch-specific hooks if needed by any other archs.

Then, remove_memory() is now generic. 
Ok.
