Here is the version with your suggestion. Do you like this better ?
Thanks,

Generic helper function to remove section mappings and sysfs entries
for the section of the memory we are removing. offline_pages() correctly
adjusted zone and marked the pages reserved.
Issue: If mem_map, usemap allocation could come from different places -
kmalloc, vmalloc, alloc_pages or bootmem. There is no easy way
to find and free up properly. Especially for bootmem, we need to
know which node the allocation came from.
