+ Periodically check for memory corruption in low memory, which
+ is suspected to be caused by BIOS. Even when enabled in the
+ configuration, it is disabled at runtime. Enable it by
+ setting "memory_corruption_check=1" on the kernel command
+ line. By default it scans the low 64k of memory every 60
+ seconds; see the memory_corruption_check_size and
+ memory_corruption_check_period parameters in
+ Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt to adjust this.
+
+ When enabled with the default parameters, this option has
+ almost no overhead, as it reserves a relatively small amount
+ of memory and scans it infrequently. It both detects corruption
+ and prevents it from affecting the running system.
+
+ It is, however, intended as a diagnostic tool; if repeatable
