kmemcheck: add the kmemcheck core

General description: kmemcheck is a patch to the linux kernel that
detects use of uninitialized memory. It does this by trapping every
read and write to memory that was allocated dynamically (e.g. using
kmalloc()). If a memory address is read that has not previously been
written to, a message is printed to the kernel log.

Thanks to Andi Kleen for the set_memory_4k() solution.

Andrew Morton suggested documenting the shadow member of struct page.
