[as used to suggest..] maybe UFFDIO_POISON sounds better.

[as used to suggest..] I'd consider reusing SWAPIN_ERROR directly.

Actually.. I think maybe we should have 1 patch changing SWAPIN_ERROR from
VM_FAULT_SIGBUS to VM_FAULT_HWPOISON.

Let's imagine a VM having anonymous page backing and got a swapin error
when faulted on one of the guest page. Instead of crashing the hypervisor
with sigbus we should probably make it a MCE injected into the guest too,
because there's no page corrupt in bare metal in this specific case,
however to the guest it's the same as having one page corrupted just like a
real MCE.

Can you be more specific on this?

What's the plan when HGM will be merged? Is it possible that all memory
just support this always so we only need 1 feature flag?
