Good point. There is nothing that guarantees that a memory block contains
the contiguous memory sections [phys_index, end_phys_index]. Should there be
a 'memory_sections' file that list the memory sections present in a memory
block?
Something along the lines of;
#> cat memory0/memory_sections
0,1,2,3
This could be done instead of the end_phys_index file.
