Hmm, yes, that would be much better.  Ah, and kvm_gmem_get_pfn() needs to check
folio_test_hwpoison() and potentially PageHWPoison().  E.g. if the folio is huge,
KVM needs to restrict the mapping to order-0 (target page isn't poisoned), or
return KVM_PFN_ERR_HWPOISON (taget page IS poisoned).

Alternatively, KVM could punch a hole in kvm_gmem_error_page(), but I don't think
we want to do that because that would prevent forwarding the #MC to the guest.
