Adding a "remove" sysfs handle that can be used to trigger
memory hotremove manually, exactly simmetrically with
what happens with the "probe" device for hot-add.

This is usueful for architecture that do not rely on
ACPI for memory hot-remove.

As already said elsewhere, this really has to check the online status of
the range and fail some is still online.

This is actually still done in remove_memory() (patch 2/5) with
walk_memory_range. We just return an error rather than BUGing().

Or are you referring to something else?
