In order to distinguish the struct mem_section for a better code
readability and align with kernel doc [1] name below, change the
global mem section name to 'mem_sections' from 'mem_section'.

"The `mem_section` objects are arranged in a two-dimensional array
called `mem_sections`."

I repeat: unnecessary code churn IMHO.

Hi David,

Thanks, i explained the reason during my last reply.
Andrew has already picked this patch to -mm tree.

Just because it's in Andrews tree doesn't mean it will end up upstream. ;)

Anyhow, no really strong opinion, it's simply unnecessary code churn that makes bisecting harder without real value IMHO.
