I proposed roughly the same a while ago. See
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/4/30/207
Memory onlining/offlining works in memory block granularity only.
Sub-sections, you have to emulate it on top, similar to how hyper-v
balloon handles it already. E.g., have a look how virtio-mem handles it
using alloc_contig_range/free_contig_range and PG_offline extensions.
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/4/30/207
So a clear NACK from my side.
