We just move the code, and don't change the acpi_memory_disable_device()'s behavior.

I look it the change again, and found some diffs:
1. we treat !info->enabled as error, while it isn't a error without this patch
2. we remove memory info from the list, it is a bug fix because we free the memory
   that stores memory info.(I have sent a patch to fix this bug, and it is in akpm's tree now)

I guess you mean 1 will change the behavior. In the last version, I don't do it.
Ishimatsu changes this and I don't notify this.

To Ishimatsu:

Why do you change this?

Thanks
