+Description: Write an integer containing the size in bytes of the memory
+ you want removed from each NUMA node to this file - it must be
+ aligned to the memblock size. This amount of RAM will be removed
+ from each NUMA node in the kernel mappings and the following
+ debugfs files will be created. Once memory is successfully
+ removed from each node, the following files are created. To
+ re-add memory to the kernel, echo 0 into this file (it will be
+ automatically onlined).
