Mauro Carvalho Chehab 54a19b4d3f docs: ABI: cleanup several ABI documents
There are some ABI documents that, while they don't generate
any warnings, they have issues when parsed by get_abi.pl script
on its output result.

Address them, in order to provide a clean output.

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.
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
Users: hotplug memory remove tools

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

What: /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryX/valid_zones
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.
What: /sys/devices/system/memoryX/nodeY
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
What: /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/memoryY
Date: September 2008
Contact: Gary Hade <garyhade@us.ibm.com>
Description:
When CONFIG_NUMA is enabled
/sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/memoryY is a symbolic link that
points to the corresponding /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryY
memory section directory. For example, the following symbolic
link is created for memory section 9 on node0.
/sys/devices/system/node/node0/memory9 -> ../../memory/memory9
