[PATCH 5/9] v4 Allow memory_block to span multiple memory sections
Update the memory sysfs code that each sysfs memory directory is now considered a memory block that can contain multiple memory sections per memory block. The default size of each memory block is SECTION_SIZE_BITS to maintain the current behavior of having a single memory section per memory block (i.e. one sysfs d... 3 Aug 2010 10:20

[PATCH 7/9] v4 Update the node sysfs code
Update the node sysfs code to be aware of the new capability for a memory block to contain multiple memory sections. This requires an additional parameter to unregister_mem_sect_under_nodes so that we know which memory section of the memory block to unregister.
