mce-tests (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/cpu/mce/mce-test.git) has
some test cases about hwpoison (under cases/function/hwpoison/), but this
tool mostly focuses on MCE and does not have enough hwpoison testcases.
So I'm maintaining my own test suite
(https://github.com/nhoriguchi/mm_regression) for long to help my own
hwpoison development/maintenance.  I'd like to make this tool more handy
so that other developers or testsuites can easily run the hwpoison testing,
although I need more work for it.
