+         Periodically check for memory corruption in low memory, which

+         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
+         BIOS-originated corruption always affects the same memory,
+         you can use memmap= to prevent the kernel from using that
