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

            Physical Mem.    Sections
                  .              .
                  .              .
                  .              .
            |          |    |          | 
0x30000000  ------------    ------------  0x30000000
            |          |    |  offline |
            |          |    ------------  0x2C000000
            |          |    |  offline |
            |          |    ------------  0x2A000000
            |   none   |    |  offline |
            |          |    ------------  0x28000000
            |          |    |  offline |
            |          |    ------------  0x26000000
0x25000000  ------------    |  *online |
            |          |    ------------  0x24000000
            |          |    |  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.
