[PATCH 09/22] HWPOISON: Handle hardware poisoned pages in try_to_unmap

From: Wu Fengguang
Date: Sun Jun 14 2009 - 23:21:06 EST


From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

When a page has the poison bit set replace the PTE with a poison entry.
This causes the right error handling to be done later when a process runs
into it.

Also add a new flag to not do that (needed for the memory-failure handler
later)
