+Description:
+ The file /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryX/state
+ is read-write. When read, it's 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

+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

+ link is created for memory section 9 on node0.
