[RFC PATCH v2 4/13] memory-hotplug : remove /sys/firmware/memmap/Xsysfs

From: Yasuaki Ishimatsu
Date: Tue Jul 03 2012 - 01:56:53 EST


When (hot)adding memory into system, /sys/firmware/memmap/X/{end, start, type}
sysfs files are created. But there is no code to remove these files. The patch
implements the function to remove them.

Note : The code does not free firmware_map_entry since there is no way to free
memory which is allocated by bootmem.
