| 6 | This is a small cache which collects correctable memory errors per 4K |
| 7 | page PFN and counts their repeated occurrence. Once the counter for a |
| 8 | PFN overflows, we try to soft-offline that page as we take it to mean |
| 9 | that it has reached a relatively high error count and would probably |
| 10 | be best if we don't use it anymore. |

| 12 | Bear in mind that this is absolutely useless if your platform doesn't |
| 13 | have ECC DIMMs and doesn't have DRAM ECC checking enabled in the BIOS. |
