[PATCH] [15/15] HWPOISON: Add simple debugfs interface to inject hwpoison on arbitary PFNs

[Andi Kleen]

Useful for some testing scenarios, although specific testing is often
done better through MADV_POISON

This can be done with the x86 level MCE injector too, but this interface
allows it to do independently from low level x86 changes.

Open issues: 

Should be disabled for cgroups.
