Subject: [PATCH] debug-pagealloc: fix kconfig dependency warning

Fix kconfig dependency warning to satisfy dependencies:

warning: (PAGE_POISONING) selects DEBUG_PAGEALLOC which has unmet
direct dependencies (DEBUG_KERNEL && ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC &&
(!HIBERNATION || !PPC && !SPARC) && !KMEMCHECK)

 	  Unmap pages from the kernel linear mapping after free_pages().
 	  This results in a large slowdown, but helps to find certain types
 	  of memory corruption.
 
+	  For architectures which don't enable ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC,
+	  fill the pages with poison patterns after free_pages() and verify
+	  the patterns before alloc_pages().  Additionally,
+	  this option cannot be enabled in combination with hibernation as
+	  that would result in incorrect warnings of memory corruption after
+	  a resume because free pages are not saved to the suspend image.
