Addscrubbing to the i5100 chipset. The i5100 chipset only supports one scrubbing rate, which is not constant but dependent on memory load. The rate returned by this driver is an estimate based on some experimentation, but is substantially closer to the truth than the speed supplied in the documentation. Also, scrubbing is done once, and then a done-bit is set. This means that to accomplish continuous scrubbing a re-enabling mechanism must be used. I have created the simplest possible such mechanism in the form of a work-queue which will check every five minutes. This interval is quite arbitrary but should be sufficient for all sizes of system memory.
