Hmmm... looks like  I missed something in the documentation.

The property should be 'phys_index'.  I thought about changing it to
'start_phys_index' but that was rejected.  The listing of the files
above is wrong in this patch, it should be 

 +/sys/devices/system/memory/memoryXXX/phys_index
 +/sys/devices/system/memory/memoryXXX/end_phys_index

Thanks,
