I am adding another patch here to disable page offlining in case the firmware

Add a sysctl memory_failure_soft_offline to control what is done on receipt of
firmware ghes notification for a corrected error. By default, kernel tries
to soft-offline the page immediately. If set to 0, no action is taken.
What is the rationale for that? Are we adding it just in case, as a
chicken bit or do you have a specific case?
If the second, we'd love to hear about it in the commit message. :)
Nope, this is a just-in-case thing. I think you or Tony asked to have
this in a previous discussion so that we're covered if firmware starts
acting up. Other than that, I'm ok if this is left out.
Thanks,
Naveen
