acpi_memory_device_remove() has been prepared to remove physical memory.
But, the function only frees acpi_memory_device currentlry. 

The patch adds following functions into acpi_memory_device_remove():
  - offline memory
  - remove physical memory. It only check whether memory is online or not.
  - free acpi_memory_device

This line is wrong. I think you want this:
end_pfn = start_pfn + PFN_UP(size);

The ';' should be removed. Otherwise, this function always return true...
