Thing is, lots of people are enabling CONFIG_DEBUG_VM, but a smaller
number of people will enable CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_POISON.  Less coverage. 

Defaulting to y if CONFIG_DEBUG_VM might help, but if people do `make
oldconfig' when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=n, their CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_POISON will
get set to `n' and will remain that way when they set CONFIG_DEBUG_VM
again.
