- This is a simple debugfs interface to inject MCEs and test different
- aspects of the MCE handling code.

+ bool "Correctable Errors Collector"
+ depends on X86_MCE && MEMORY_FAILURE && DEBUG_FS
+ ---help---
+ This is a small cache which collects correctable memory errors per 4K
+ page PFN and counts their repeated occurrence. Once the counter for a
+ PFN overflows, we try to soft-offline that page as we take it to mean
+ that it has reached a relatively high error count and would probably
+ be best if we don't use it anymore.
- WARNING: Do not even assume this interface is staying stable!
+ Bear in mind that this is absolutely useless if your platform doesn't
+ have ECC DIMMs and doesn't have DRAM ECC checking enabled in the BIOS.
