If ACPI_APEI and MEMORY_FAILURE is configured, select
ACPI_APEI_MEMORY_FAILURE. This enables memory failure recovery
when such memory failure is reported through ACPI APEI. APEI
(ACPI Platform Error Interfaces) provides a means for the
platform to convey error information to the kernel.

Declare ARCH_SUPPORTS_MEMORY_FAILURE, as arm64 does support
memory failure recovery attempt.

Am I right in thinking we should wait for the hugepage issue you found with
hwpoison [0] to be fixed before arm64 can have ARCH_SUPPORTS_MEMORY_FAILURE?

We should at the least fix the huge_pte_offset() issue discovered in [0]
before we enable memory failure handling. Earlier today I posted a
RFC[1] fix for it based on Catalin's suggestion.


(If so, can this patch become part of that series to they are obviously related!)

Good point - I can include the patches enabling memory failure handling
on ARM64 if Tyler's fine with it.

Thanks,
Punit
