This patch set provides some fault-injection capabilities.
- kmalloc failures
- alloc_pages() failures

We can see what really happens if those failures happen.
Looks very useful for testing error paths; nice work.
Should this perhaps taint the kernel when used?
It shouldn't; these are all failures that could quite possibly happen
during normal operation even without this enabled, they're just a few
orders of magnitude less likely (in most situations).
