    I've posted details on how to set up test configurations using injected HMAT
    and SRAT tables here:

    https://github.com/rzwisler/hmat_examples

    So far I've got two different sample configs, and we can add more as they are
    useful. Having the sample configs in github is also nice because if someone
    finds a config that causes a kernel issue it can be reported then added to
    this list of example configs for future testing.

    Please let me know if you have trouble getting this working.
