+What: /sys/firmware/acpi/hotplug/force_remove
+Date: Mar 2017
+Contact: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>
+Description:
+ Since the force_remove is inherently broken and dangerous to
+ use for some hotplugable resources like memory (because ignoring
+ the offline failure might lead to memory corruption and crashes)
+ enabling this knob is not safe and thus unsupported.

-Description:
- The number in this file (0 or 1) determines whether (1) or not
- (0) the ACPI subsystem will allow devices to be hot-removed even
- if they cannot be put offline gracefully (from the kernel's
- viewpoint). That number can be changed by writing a boolean
- value to this file.
