	   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.
