Starting a full Address Range Scrub (ARS) on hitting a memory error
machine check exception may not always be desirable. Provide a way
through sysfs to toggle the behavior between just adding the address
(cache line) where the MCE happened to the poison list and doing a full
scrub. The former (selective insertion of the address) is done
unconditionally.

I think scrub_show() should display the current auto-scrub mode, right?

Shouldn't this still kick off a scrub?  It's awkward that the only way
to run a scrub is to put the driver into automatic re-scrub mode.

Hmm, although it will probably still be awkward if we make it do a
scrub in this case.  Might be better to have a separate "auto_scrub"
property that sets what to do on latent error detection.
