AFAICS pages_correctly_probed will catch this first.
pages_correctly_probed checks for the section to be:

- present
- valid
- !online

Maybe it makes sense to rename it, and write another pages_correctly_probed routine
for the offline case.

So all checks would stay in memory_block_action level, and we would not need
the mem_sections_offline/online stuff.

Thanks
