Ok...let's suppose the size of section is 32MiB.
Physical Mem. Sections

| | | |
0x30000000 ------------ ------------ 0x30000000

0x25000000 ------------ | *online |

| | | online |
| 80 MiB | ------------ 0x22000000
| | | online |
0x20000000 ------------ ------------ 0x20000000
In the above diagram, *section includes a 'hole' that is invalid online area
between 0x25000000 and 0x26000000.

Ok..will fix it.
Thanks.
