[PATCH 1/5] generic __remove_pages() support

From: Badari Pulavarty
Date: Thu Mar 27 2008 - 19:35:04 EST


Generic helper function to remove section mappings and sysfs entries
for the section of the memory we are removing. offline_pages() correctly
adjusted zone and marked the pages reserved.

TODO: Yasunori Goto is working on patches to freeup allocations from bootmem.
