Which lock protect this loop?

I suspect you need to implement rollback code instead of just return.

Write function comment instead of this silly comment.

This patch move acpi_memory_powerdown_device() from ACPI_NOTIFY_EJECT_REQUEST
to release callback, but don't explain why.

This comment explain nothing. A comment should describe _why_ should we do.
e.g. Why REMOVAL_NORMAL and REMOVEL_EJECT should be ignored. Why
we need remove memory here instead of ACPI_NOTIFY_EJECT_REQUEST.
