Are there additional prerequisites for this patch?  Otherwise it changes
the return value of offline_memory() which will now call
acpi_memory_powerdown_device() in the acpi memhotplug case when disabling.
Is that a problem?

I have understood there is a person who expects "offline_pages()" to fail
in this case by kosaki's comment. So I'll move memory_is_offline to caller
side.

Thanks,
