x86: corruption check: move the corruption checks into their own file
Impact: cleanup The corruption check code is rather sizable and it's likely to grow over time when we add checks for more types of corruptions (there's a few candidates in kerneloops.org that I want to add checks for)... so lets move it to its own file Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
