Can we have here an output like

online->offline memory0
-> Failure
online->offline memory10
-> Success

That would make much more sense for debugging purposes and understanding 
what is happening here. I was primarily concerned about the misleading 
error message, that indicated that something is "unexpected" -- it's 
perfectly reasonable here to *expect* that offlining a random memory 
blocks just fails.
