[RFC PATCH] memory driver: make phys_index/end_phys_index reflect the start/end section number

[Li Zhong]

I noticed the phys_index and end_phys_index under 
/sys/devices/system/memory/memoryXXX/ have the same value, e.g.
(for the test machine, one memory block has 8 sections, that is 
 sections_per_block equals 8)

# cd /sys/devices/system/memory/memory100/
# cat phys_index end_phys_index 
00000064
00000064

Seems they should reflect the start/end section number respectively, which 
also matches what is said in Documentation/memory-hotplug.txt

This patch tries to modify that so the two files could show the start/end
section number of the memory block.

After this change, output of the above example looks like:

# cat phys_index end_phys_index 
00000320
00000327
