generic debug pagealloc
CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is now supported by x86, powerpc, sparc64, and
s390. This patch implements it for the rest of the architectures by
filling the pages with poison byte patterns after free_pages() and
verifying the poison patterns before alloc_pages().
This generic one cannot detect invalid page accesses immediately but
invalid read access may cause invalid dereference by poisoned memory and
invalid write access can be detected after a long delay.

+ Fill the pages with poison patterns after free_pages() and verify
+ the patterns before alloc_pages(). This results in a large slowdown,
+ but helps to find certain types of memory corruptions.
+
+ This option cannot enalbe with hibernation. Otherwise, it will get
+ wrong messages for memory corruption because the free pages are not
+ saved to the suspend image.
