#7123: Haiku does not handle flaky/bad ram gracefully

-----------------------------+------------------------
I had a good sized fight today with a functional windows machine that had
a stick of ram that could best be described as flaky. It was a older p4
machine with 768mb of ddr 267. The windows install ran fine "seemed
uneffected but slow" but haiku would go into a revolt of non compliane and
KDL and GDB. I replace the failing sticks of ram but it occurs to me that
haiku needs a way to isolate and ignore bad ram sectors.
I distreoyed all the error logs when I found the bad sticks as I knew
what the cuase was. It was disturbing however to see windows boot and
operate just fine while haiku had no stability in anything but desktop.
