Subject: [PATCH 2/8] v2 Add section count to memory_block struct

Add a section count property to the memory_block struct to track the number
of memory sections that have been added/removed from a memory block. This
allows us to know when the last memory section of a memory block has been
removed so we can remove the memory block.
