Justin P. Mattock 0ea6e61122 Documentation: update broken web addresses.
Below you will find an updated version from the original series bunching all patches into one big patch
updating broken web addresses that are located in Documentation/*
Some of the addresses date as far far back as 1995 etc... so searching became a bit difficult,
the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated.
Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching
on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address
to the company site this way the users can contact the company and they can locate them for the users.

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/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
