Hmm, this means memory cab be offlined the while memory block section. Right ?
Please write this fact in patch description...
And Documentaion/memory_hotplug.txt as "From user's perspective, memory section
is not a unit of memory hotplug anymore".
And descirbe about a new rule.

And please check quilt's diff option.
Usual patche in ML shows a function name in any changes, as
@@ -241,6 +293,8 @@ static int memory_block_change_state(str

Maybe "-p" option is lacked..

Why re-enable only ? online->fail->offline never happens ?
If so, please add comment at least.
BTW, is it guaranteed that all sections under a block has same state after
boot ?

I'm sorry but I couldn't remember why this check was necessary...

I don't say strongly but this kind of move-code should be done in another patch.

Doesn't this "sections" need to be sorted ? Hmm.

Okay, please go ahead. But my 1st impression is that IBM should increase ppc's
SECTION_SIZE ;)
