What:		/sys/devices/system/memory

		operations.

Users:		hotplug memory add/remove tools

What:		/sys/devices/system/memory/memoryX/removable
Date:		June 2008
Contact:	Badari Pulavarty <pbadari@us.ibm.com>
Description:
		The file /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryX/removable
		indicates whether this memory block is removable or not.
		This is useful for a user-level agent to determine
		identify removable sections of the memory before attempting
		potentially expensive hot-remove memory operation
