I don't like this.

1. plz put all under CONFIG_DEBUG_HWPOISON or some
2. plz don't export memcg's id. you can do it without it.
3. If I was you, just adds following file

memory.hwpoison_test
Then, if you allow test
#echo 1 > memory.hwpoison_test

4. I can't understand why you need this. I wonder you can get pfn via
/proc/<pid>/????. And this may insert HWPOISON to page-cache of shared
library and "unexpected" process will be poisoned.

Thanks,
-Kame
