Intent here is hardware scrubber on host as far as we are concerned.
Could be used for VM too perhaps. We did it with QEMU emulation for now
to get the flexibility of configuration. However there will be other scrub controls
over time, such as DDR5 ECS.
https://media-www.micron.com/-/media/client/global/documents/products/white-paper/ddr5_new_features_white_paper.pdf?rev=b98f4977d9334b4aa5d0d211a92bf14a
Also found there is very simple support for scrub control in edac, and an alternative path
would be to look at extending that to sufficient complexity to support region based scanning.
