[BioC] Exclude individual probes before normalization

[Jenny Drnevich]

Hi Jim,

Do you know if using the 'subset' argument of rma() has any effect on the 
memory it uses? I'm not sure if it would decrease the memory requirements 
by working with less data, or actually increase it by doing a subsetting 
step somewhere.

Thanks,
Jenny
