This patch series aims to support physical memory hot-remove(clear page table).

This patch series base on ishimatsu's patch series. You can get it here:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-acpi/msg36804.html

The patches can remove following things:
  - page table of removed memory

If you find lack of function for physical memory hot-remove, please let me
know.

Note:
* The patch "remove memory info from list before freeing it" is being disccussed
  in other thread. But for testing the patch series, the patch is needed.
  So I added the patch as [PATCH 0/8].
* You need to apply ishimatsu's patch series first before applying this patch
  series.

Wen Congyang (8):
  memory-hotplug: store the node id in acpi_memory_device
  memory-hotplug: offline memory only when it is onlined
  memory-hotplug: call remove_memory() to cleanup when removing memory
    device
  memory-hotplug: export the function acpi_bus_remove()
  memory-hotplug: call acpi_bus_remove() to remove memory device
  memory-hotplug: introduce new function arch_remove_memory()
  x86: make __split_large_page() generally avialable
  memory-hotplug: implement arch_remove_memory()
