    memory hotplug: free memmaps allocated by bootmem · 0c0a4a51
    Yasunori Goto authored
    This patch is to free memmaps which is allocated by bootmem.
    
    Freeing usemap is not necessary.  The pages of usemap may be necessary for
    other sections.
    
    If removing section is last section on the node, its section is the final user
    of usemap page.  (usemaps are allocated on its section by previous patch.) But
    it shouldn't be freed too, because the section must be logical offline state
    which all pages are isolated against page allocater.  If it is freed, page
    alloctor may use it which will be removed physically soon.  It will be
    disaster.  So, this patch keeps it as it is.
