I'm not sure how useful this interface from userspace (controlling test process
with this?).  Do we really need to expose this to userspace?


TBH I feel that another approach like below is more desirable:

   - define a new flag in "enum mf_flags" (for example named MF_SW_SIMULATED),
   - set the flag when calling memory_failure() from the three callers
     mentioned above,
   - define a global variable (typed bool) in mm/memory_failure.c_to show that
     the system has experienced a real hardware memory error events.
   - once memory_failure() is called without MF_SW_SIMULATED, the new global
     bool variable is set, and afterward unpoison_memory always fails with
     -EOPNOTSUPP.

Exactly what I had in mind.


Sure, I'll send a new version later! Thanks!
