virtio-mem wants to offline and remove a memory block once it unplugged all subblocks (e.g., using alloc_contig_range()). Let's provide an interface to do that from a driver. virtio-mem already supports to offline partially unplugged memory blocks. Offlining a fully unplugged memory block will not require to migrate any pages. All unplugged subblocks are PageOffline() and have a reference count of 0 - so offlining code will simply skip them. All we need is an interface to offline and remove the memory from kernel module context, where we don't have access to the memory block devices (esp. find_memory_block() and device_offline()) and the device hotplug lock. To keep things simple, allow to only work on a single memory block.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
