This patch series aims to support physical memory hot-remove.

  [RFC PATCH v2 1/13] memory-hotplug : rename remove_memory to offline_memory
  [RFC PATCH v2 2/13] memory-hotplug : add physical memory hotplug code to acpi_memory_device_remove
  [RFC PATCH v2 3/13] memory-hotplug : unify argument of firmware_map_add_early/hotplug
  [RFC PATCH v2 4/13] memory-hotplug : remove /sys/firmware/memmap/X sysfs
  [RFC PATCH v2 5/13] memory-hotplug : does not release memory region in PAGES_PER_SECTION chunks
  [RFC PATCH v2 6/13] memory-hotplug : add memory_block_release
  [RFC PATCH v2 7/13] memory-hotplug : remove_memory calls __remove_pages
  [RFC PATCH v2 8/13] memory-hotplug : check page type in get_page_bootmem
  [RFC PATCH v2 9/13] memory-hotplug : move register_page_bootmem_info_node and put_page_bootmem for
sparse-vmemmap
  [RFC PATCH v2 10/13] memory-hotplug : implement register_page_bootmem_info_section of sparse-vmemmap
  [RFC PATCH v2 11/13] memory-hotplug : free memmap of sparse-vmemmap
  [RFC PATCH v2 12/13] memory-hotplug : add node_device_release
  [RFC PATCH v2 13/13] memory-hotplug : remove sysfs file of node

Even if you apply these patches, you cannot remove the physical memory
completely since these patches are still under development. I want you to
cooperate to improve the physical memory hot-remove. So please review these
patches and give your comment/idea.

The patches can free/remove following things:

  - acpi_memory_info                          : [RFC PATCH 2/13]
  - /sys/firmware/memmap/X/{end, start, type} : [RFC PATCH 4/13]
  - iomem_resource                            : [RFC PATCH 5/13]
  - mem_section and related sysfs files       : [RFC PATCH 6-11/13]
  - node and related sysfs files              : [RFC PATCH 12-13/13]

The patches cannot do following things yet:

  - page table of removed memory

If you find lack of function for physical memory hot-remove, please let me
know.

change log of v2:
 [RFC PATCH v2 2/13]
   * check whether memory block is offline or not before calling offline_memory()
   * check whether section is valid or not in is_memblk_offline()
   * call kobject_put() for each memory_block in is_memblk_offline()

 [RFC PATCH v2 3/13]
   * unify the end argument of firmware_map_add_early/hotplug

 [RFC PATCH v2 4/13]
   * add release_firmware_map_entry() for freeing firmware_map_entry

 [RFC PATCH v2 6/13]
  * add release_memory_block() for freeing memory_block

 [RFC PATCH v2 11/13]
  * fix wrong arguments of free_pages()
