The patch adds __remove_pages() to remove_memory(). Then the range of
phys_start_pfn argument and nr_pages argument in __remove_pagse() may
have different zone. So zone argument is removed from __remove_pages()
and __remove_pages() caluculates zone in each section.

When CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is defined, there is no way to remove a memmap.
So __remove_section only calls unregister_memory_section().

I saw a patch from Jiang Liu "mm/hotplug: free zone->pageset when a
zone becomes empty" to
free the zone->pageset and i think there may more cleanup needed when
a zone becomes empty.

We already have __add_zone() in __add_section(), what about add a
function like __remove_zone()
to do the cleanup here?

Thank you for your cooment. As you say, I think cleanup function of zone
is necessary. So I'll update it.

Thanks,
Yasuaki Ishimatsu.
