generic debug pagealloc

CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is now supported by x86, powerpc, sparc64, and
s390.  This patch implements it for the rest of the architectures by
filling the pages with poison byte patterns after free_pages() and
verifying the poison patterns before alloc_pages().

This generic one cannot detect invalid page accesses immediately but
invalid read access may cause invalid dereference by poisoned memory and
invalid write access can be detected after a long delay.

+	   Fill the pages with poison patterns after free_pages() and verify
+	   the patterns before alloc_pages(). This results in a large slowdown,
+	   but helps to find certain types of memory corruptions.

+	   This option cannot enalbe with hibernation. Otherwise, it will get
+	   wrong messages for memory corruption because the free pages are not
+	   saved to the suspend image.
