As Wen says, Linux has 4 functions for memory hotplug already.
In my recognition, these functions are prepared for following purpose.
1. add_memory : add physical memory
2. online_pages : online logical memory
3. remove_memory : offline logical memory
4. offline_pages : offline logical memory
add_memory() is used for adding physical memory. I think remove_memory()
would rather be used for removing physical memory than be used for removing
logical memory. So I renamed remove_memory() to offline_memory().
How do you think?
