16.3.6 badram
-------------

 -- Command: badram addr,mask[,addr,mask...]
     Filter out bad RAM.

...

   Syntax is the same as provided by the Memtest86+ utility
(http://www.memtest.org/): a list of address/mask pairs.  Given a
page-aligned address and a base address / mask pair,


That's three items. I thought you only want two, or four, or six.

Also document this from /usr/share/grub/default/grub
#GRUB_BADRAM="0x01234567,0xfefefefe,0x89abcdef,0xefefefef"

This perhaps says mask 0xfefefefe bytes starting at 0x01234567, etc.

Wouldn't that use up most of the memory.

Also give examples of what parts of the Memtest86+ screen we exactly
want to transfer here.
