Hi Juan,

While I think there's possibly value in people not re-implemented their own
allocation injector, I don't think there's value in having this be part of
core-mm.

I really don't want this to form part of any contract or to be blessed in
any way by core mm as it exposes internal implementation details and I
really want to avoid adding extra maintainer workload here.

I'd suggest keeping it as an out-of-tree module as David proposed
previously ([0]).

Alternatively, keeping it as part of tooling (e.g. in tools/testing) could
also work.

(This is no comment on how useful it might be for debugging or testing
scenarios :)
