From bb577f980ef35e2b0d00aeed566724e5032aa5eb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hugh Dickins Date: Sun, 7 Sep 2008 01:51:33 -0700 Subject: x86: add periodic corruption check Perodically check for corruption in low phusical memory. Don't bother checking at fault time, since it won't show anything useful.
