From: Wen Congyang <wency <at> cn.fujitsu.com>

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

The patches can free/remove the following things:

  - acpi_memory_info                          : [RFC PATCH 4/19]
  - /sys/firmware/memmap/X/{end, start, type} : [RFC PATCH 8/19]
  - iomem_resource                            : [RFC PATCH 9/19]
  - mem_section and related sysfs files       : [RFC PATCH 10-11, 13-16/19]

know.
