[PATCH 3/8] Add section count to memory_block struct

Nathan Fontenot nfont at austin.ibm.com
Thu Sep 23 00:30:52 EST 2010


Add a section count property to the memory_block struct to track the number
of memory sections that have been added/removed from a memory block. This
allows us to know when the last memory section of a memory block has been
removed so we can remove the memory block.
