Does it make sense to replicate what happens with MCE handling on
tmpfs backed guest memory:
1) Unmap gpa from guest
2) On the next guest EPT fault, exit to userspace to handle/log the
mce error for the gpa.

IIUC, such MCEs could be asynchronous and "current" might not always
be the intended recipient of this signal.
