could you please add a second .config parameter as well:

  CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_MEMORY_CORRUPTION_CHECK=y

which turns this parameter 1 without having to specify it on the boot 
command line. That way -tip's randconfig testing can check this on a 
couple of boxes and the WARN() will be detected automatically.

Also, i'd suggest to make the defaults of the scanning parameters be as 
widely enabled as reasonable - we want to see how much real problems 
this can catch.

please make it default-disabled.

Looks good otherwise.
