detected corruption
It's sometimes useful to know the physical address which
has beencorrupted, especially in systems with multiple
bus masters and DMA engines the capability of writing
to memory. It's may also be useful for identifying the
location of failures of memory cells in cases of
device-specific corruption.
Print the physical start address of the page to help
in these scenarios.

Drivers have a tendency to scribble on everything, including free
pages. Make life easier by marking free pages as read only when
on the buddy list and re-marking as read/write when allocating.

Currently, we just print the pagealloc corruption warnings and
proceed. Sometimes, we are getting multiple errors printed down
the line. It will be good to get the device state as early as
possible when we get the first pagealloc error.

When (no)bootmem finish operation, it pass pages to buddy
allocator. Since debug_pagealloc_enabled is not set, we will do
not protect pages, what is not what we want with
CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y.
To fix remove debug_pagealloc_enabled. That variable was
introduced by commit 12d6f21e "x86: do not PSE on
CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y" to get more CPA (change page
attribude) code testing. But currently we have CONFIG_CPA_DEBUG,
which test CPA.

This adds support for highmem pages poisoning and verification to the
debug-pagealloc feature for no-architecture support.

printk_ratelimit() should not be used, because it shares ratelimiting
state with all other unrelated printk_ratelimit() callsites.

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.
