   4          Extend memmap on extra space for more information on page. This
   5          could be used for debugging features that need to insert extra
   6          field for every page. This extension enables us to save memory
   7          by not allocating this extra memory according to boottime
   8          configuration.

  18          Unmap pages from the kernel linear mapping after free_pages().
  19          This results in a large slowdown, but helps to find certain types
  20          of memory corruption.

  22          For architectures which don't enable ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC,
  23          fill the pages with poison patterns after free_pages() and verify
  24          the patterns before alloc_pages().  Additionally,
  25          this option cannot be enabled in combination with hibernation as
  26          that would result in incorrect warnings of memory corruption after
  27          a resume because free pages are not saved to the suspend image.
