Just a nit:
I think this could be combined with patch#2.
The only reason to fail in here is 1) !valid_section 2)
!present_section.
As I stated in patch#2, one cannot be without the other, so makes sense
to rip present_section check from unregister_mem_section() as well.
Then, you could combine both changelogs explaining the whole thing, and
why we do not need the present_section check either.
But the change looks good to me:
