The idea is that when rebooting, stale memory contents remain, but are
corrupted due to interleave.

"Frob" basically means "mess with".  So apply patch, test kernel,
reboot, change NUMA option, reboot again, see if it works, and so on.
Basically repeat your test with the NUMA=3Don interleave=3Don, NUMA=3Doff=

interleave=3Don, etc etc.
