The QEMU support for hugetlbfs has some issues now. Because it is hard
for QEMU to deal with 2M poisoned page reported by host OS. Although it
is possible for QEMU to relay 2M poisoned page as MCE to guest OS, the
guest OS may not work properly for this kind of MCE.


If we get a full address (rather than just a frame number) then we can identify the 4k page and send an mce just for that frame?
