   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.
