The mutex is a bigger hammer than strictly needed . If there are simultaneous
errors on different pages they could, int theory, proceed in parallel. But this mutex
will serialize the processing.

Is this a problem? Hopefully systems aren't seeing so many uncorrectable/recoverable
errors that this would be a significant bottleneck.
