+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.
