Okay.
Here goes the patch.

Subject: [PATCH v4] mm/debug-pagealloc: make debug-pagealloc boottime
configurable

Now, we have prepared to avoid using debug-pagealloc in boottime. So,
make it disabled in default and introduce new kernel-parameter
to enable debug-pagealloc in boottime. This is a debugging feature, so
default disabled may be more useful.

Only non-intuitive part is change of guard page functions. Because
guard page is effective only if debug-pagealloc is enabled, turning on/off
according to debug-pagealloc is reasonable thing to do.

v2: makes debug-pagealloc boottime configurable for page poisoning, too
v4: makes debug-pagealloc disabled in default
