It seems this bug is specified to x86? IIUC, not all arch will unmap the entire page if the
whole page is affected and poisoned. So the above virt_to_kpte + !pte_present check could not
detect the hardware corrupted page reliably, i.e. if page is not *whole* unmapped, e.g. *possible*
hugetlb page, we will still unpoison a hardware corrupted page. Or am I miss something?

I think -EOPNOTSUPP might be a better error code too as Naoya pointed out.

Thanks!
