I don't know if this is possible or not. But it seems like you could have a
memory tester that is started from LILO, that is separate from the kernel.
It would load before vmlinux. If a bad area of memory was found, then this
information could be passed on to the kernel (as boot parameters). Finally,
the kernel could then map around those bad areas of memory.
