    HWPoison: add memory_failure_queue() · ea8f5fb8

    memory_failure() is the entry point for HWPoison memory error
    recovery.  It must be called in process context.  But commonly
    hardware memory errors are notified via MCE or NMI, so some delayed
    execution mechanism must be used.  In MCE handler, a work queue + ring
    buffer mechanism is used.
    
    In addition to MCE, now APEI (ACPI Platform Error Interface) GHES
    (Generic Hardware Error Source) can be used to report memory errors
    too.  To add support to APEI GHES memory recovery, a mechanism similar
    to that of MCE is implemented.  memory_failure_queue() is the new
    entry point that can be called in IRQ context.  The next step is to
    make MCE handler uses this interface too.
