+Subject: x86: memtest: WARN if bad RAM found
+Bug-Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/613321
+Forwarded: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20120402150522.GA4980@burratino/
+
+Since this is not a particularly thorough test, if we find any bad
+bits of RAM then there is a fair chance that there are other bad bits
+we fail to detect.
