[PATCH 1/10] memory-hotplug : check whether memory is offline ornot when removing memory

From: Yasuaki Ishimatsu
Date: Thu Oct 04 2012 - 22:26:03 EST


When calling remove_memory(), the memory should be offline. If the function
is used to online memory, kernel panic may occur.

So the patch checks whether memory is offline or not.
