online_pages()/offline_pages() theoretically allows us to work on
sub-section sizes. This is especially relevant in the context of
virtualization. It e.g. allows us to add/remove memory to Linux in a VM in
4MB chunks.

While the whole section is marked as online/offline, we have to know
the state of each page. E.g. to not read memory that is not online
during kexec() or to properly mark a section as offline as soon as all
contained pages are offline.
