+What:		/sys/devices/system/memory
+Date:		June 2008
+Contact:	Badari Pulavarty <pbadari@us.ibm.com>
+Description:
+		The /sys/devices/system/memory contains a snapshot of the
+		internal state of the kernel memory blocks. Files could be
+		added or removed dynamically to represent hot-add/remove
+		operations.

+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

+What:		/sys/devices/system/memory/memoryX/phys_device
+Date:		September 2008
+Contact:	Badari Pulavarty <pbadari@us.ibm.com>
+Description:
+		The file /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryX/phys_device
+		is read-only and is designed to show the name of physical
+		memory device.  Implementation is currently incomplete.

+What:		/sys/devices/system/memory/memoryX/phys_index
+Date:		September 2008
+Contact:	Badari Pulavarty <pbadari@us.ibm.com>
+Description:
+		The file /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryX/phys_index
+		is read-only and contains the section ID in hexadecimal
+		which is equivalent to decimal X contained in the
+		memory section directory name.

+What:		/sys/devices/system/memory/memoryX/state
+Date:		September 2008
+Contact:	Badari Pulavarty <pbadari@us.ibm.com>
+Description:
+		The file /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryX/state
+		is read-write.  When read, its contents show the
+		online/offline state of the memory section.  When written,
+		root can toggle the the online/offline state of a removable
+		memory section (see removable file description above)
+		using the following commands.
+		# echo online > /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryX/state
+		# echo offline > /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryX/state
+
+		For example, if /sys/devices/system/memory/memory22/removable
+		contains a value of 1 and
+		/sys/devices/system/memory/memory22/state contains the
+		string "online" the following command can be executed by
+		by root to offline that section.
+		# echo offline > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory22/state

+Date:           July 2014
+Contact:	Zhang Zhen <zhenzhang.zhang@huawei.com>
+Description:
+		The file /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryX/valid_zones	is
+		read-only and is designed to show which zone this memory
+		block can be onlined to.

+Date:		October 2009
+Contact:	Linux Memory Management list <linux-mm@kvack.org>
+Description:
+		When CONFIG_NUMA is enabled, a symbolic link that
+		points to the corresponding NUMA node directory.
+
+		For example, the following symbolic link is created for
+		memory section 9 on node0:
+		/sys/devices/system/memory/memory9/node0 -> ../../node/node0
