16Description:
17 The file /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryX/removable
18 indicates whether this memory block is removable or not.
19 This is useful for a user-level agent to determine
20 identify removable sections of the memory before attempting
21 potentially expensive hot-remove memory operation
