Subject: [PATCH] [2/16] HWPOISON: Export poison flag in /proc/kpageflags


From: Fengguang Wu <fengguang.wu@...el.com>

Export the new poison flag in /proc/kpageflags. Poisoned pages are moderately
interesting even for administrators, so export them here. Also useful
for debugging.

AK: I extracted this out of a larger patch from Fengguang Wu.
