| 4 | Description: |
| 5 | The /sys/devices/system/memory contains a snapshot of the |
| 6 | internal state of the kernel memory blocks. Files could be |
| 7 | added or removed dynamically to represent hot-add/remove |
| 8 | operations. |

| 16 | Description: |
| 17 | The file /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryX/removable |
| 18 | indicates whether this memory block is removable or not. |
| 19 | This is useful for a user-level agent to determine |
| 20 | identify removable sections of the memory before attempting |
| 21 | potentially expensive hot-remove memory operation |
