Bug#613321: linux-image-amd64: Please enable 'memtest' option for all linux kernels

[Dmitry Smirnov <onlyjob@gmail.com>]

Package: linux-image-amd64
Severity: wishlist

It would be very nice to have 'memtest' option enabled by default in all Debian
kernels.
This tiny feature is only activated with boot-time parameter so it is harmless,
but powerful for those who want to use it.
As described in http://onlyjob.blogspot.com/2011/01/memtest-explained-linux-
kernel.html
memtest can dramatically increase robustness and to some degree protect from
data corruption on systems with bad RAM.

Thanks.
