+ Unmap pages from the kernel linear mapping after free_pages().
+ This results in a large slowdown, but helps to find certain types
+ of memory corruption.
+
+ For architectures which don't enable ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC,
+ fill the pages with poison patterns after free_pages() and verify
+ the patterns before alloc_pages(). Additionally,
+ this option cannot be enabled in combination with hibernation as
+ that would result in incorrect warnings of memory corruption after
+ a resume because free pages are not saved to the suspend image.
