IMHO that means we may just need even more documentations? :)

I won't ask for documenting doublemap bit in this series, but I just don't
think it's a good excuse to not provide documentations if we still can.
Especially to me PageHasHwpoisoned looks really so like PageHwpoisoned, so
it'll be still very nice to have some good document along with the patch it's
introduced.

Thanks,
