+ memory_corruption_check=0/1 [X86]
+ Some BIOSes seem to corrupt the first 64k of
+ memory when doing things like suspend/resume.
+ Setting this option will scan the memory
+ looking for corruption. Enabling this will
+ both detect corruption and prevent the kernel
+ from using the memory being corrupted.
+ However, its intended as a diagnostic tool; if
+ repeatable BIOS-originated corruption always
