Subject: [PATCH] [15/15] HWPOISON: Add simple debugfs interface to inject hwpoison on arbitary PFNs
Useful for some testing scenarios, although specific testing is often
done better through MADV_POISON
This can be done with the x86 level MCE injector too, but this interface
allows it to do independently from low level x86 changes.
Open issues:
Should be disabled for cgroups.

Enables code to recover from some memory failures on systems
with MCA recovery. This allows a system to continue running
