This patch introduces the new 'split' file in each memory sysfs
directory and the associated routines needed to handle splitting
a directory.

'nid' is always 0 ?

And for what purpose this interface is ? Does this split memory block into 2 pieces
of the same size ?? sounds __very__ strange interface to me.

If this is necessary, I hope move the whole things to configfs rather than
something tricky.

Bye.
