+ help
+ 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.
