Subject: [PATCH] mm/memory-hotplug: Add sysfs hot-remove trigger

ARCH_MEMORY_PROBE is a useful thing for testing and debugging hotplug,
but being able to exercise the (arguably trickier) hot-remove path would
be even more useful. Extend the feature to allow removal of offline
sections to be triggered manually to aid development.

This is inspired by a previous proposal[1], but in coming up with a
more robust interface I ended up rewriting the whole thing from
scratch. The lack of documentation is semi-deliberate, since I don't
like the idea of anyone actually relying on this interface as ABI, but
as a handy tool it felt useful enough to be worth sharing :)

Robin.
