This patch provides fail-injection capability for alloc_pages()

boot option:

	fail_page_alloc=<probability>,<interval>,<times>,<space>

	<probability>

		specifies how often it should fail in percent.

	<interval>

		specifies the interval of failures.

	<times>

		specifies how many times failures may happen at most.

	<space>

		specifies the size of free space where memory can be allocated
		safely in pages.

Example:

	fail_page_alloc=100,10,-1,0

page allocation fails once per 10 times.
