Changelog:
v1 -> v2:
* show number of HighTotal before hotremove
* remove CONFIG_HIGHMEM
* cc stable kernels
* add Michal reviewed-by
Logic memory-remove code fails to correctly account the Total High Memory
when a memory block which contains High Memory is offlined as shown in the
example below. The following patch fixes it.
Stable for 2.6.24+.
