Memory failure provides the ability of soft offline pages,
which is very useful to handle the memory errors such as CE in ECC.

Although ARM does not have a user interface like
`/sys/devices/system/memory/soft_offline_page`, memory-failure still
provides some exported func that can be used by some module ko driver.
It would be helpful to be more specific about what you
want to do with this.

Are you working on a driver that would actually make use of
the exported interface? I see only a very small number of
drivers that call memory_failure(), and none of them are
usable on Arm.
