You mean like this in-tree code?
config MEMORY_FAILURE
depends on MMU
depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_MEMORY_FAILURE
bool "Enable recovery from hardware memory errors"
select MEMORY_ISOLATION
help
Enables code to recover from some memory failures on systems
with MCA recovery. This allows a system to continue running
even when some of its memory has uncorrected errors. This requires
special hardware support and typically ECC memory.
Oh, and if you want to test your code, there's this one:
config HWPOISON_INJECT
tristate "HWPoison pages injector"
depends on MEMORY_FAILURE && DEBUG_KERNEL && PROC_FS
select PROC_PAGE_MONITOR
