+ ---help---
+ Fill the pages with poison patterns after free_pages() and verify
+ the patterns before alloc_pages. The filling of the memory helps
+ reduce the risk of information leaks from freed data. This does
+ have a potential performance impact.

+ ---help---
+ Skip the sanity checking on alloc, only fill the pages with

+ poisoning feature.
