The generic debug-pagealloc should depend on CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL
as well as the architecture specific one.

The generic debug-pagealloc generates wrong messages for the page corruption
after hibernation. Because the free pages are not saved to the suspend image.

 	   Fill the pages with poison patterns after free_pages() and verify
 	   the patterns before alloc_pages(). This results in a large slowdown,
 	   but helps to find certain types of memory corruptions.

+	   This option cannot enalbe with hibernation. Otherwise, it will get
+	   wrong messages for memory corruption because the free pages are not
+	   saved to the suspend image.
