+enable_soft_offline
+===================
+Control whether to soft offline memory pages that have (excessive) correctable
+memory errors. It is your call to choose between reliability (stay away from
+fragile physical memory) vs performance (brought by HugeTLB or transparent
+hugepages).
+
+When setting to 1, kernel attempts to soft offline the page when it thinks
+needed. For in-use page, page content will be migrated to a new page. If
+the oringinal hugepage is a HugeTLB hugepage, regardless of in-use or free,
+it will be dissolved into raw pages, and the capacity of the HugeTLB pool
+will reduce by 1. If the original hugepage is a transparent hugepage, it
+will be split into raw pages. When setting to 0, kernel won't attempt to
+soft offline the page. Its default value is 1.
