SIGBUS during page fault is definitely impossible when memory is still
mapped, but the platform still MCE or SEA in case of poison
consumption, right? So I wanted to propose new code to SIGBUS (either
BUS_MCEERR_AR or BUS_OBJERR) as long as the platform notifies the
kernel in the synchronous poison consumption context, e.g. MCE on X86
and SEA on ARM64.
