Today I just noticed one more thing: unpoison path has (unpoison_memory):

	if (page_mapping(page)) {
		unpoison_pr_info("Unpoison: the hwpoison page has non-NULL mapping %#lx\n",
				 pfn, &unpoison_rs);
		return 0;
	}

I _think_ it was used to make sure we ignore page that was not successfully
poisoned/offlined before (for anonymous), so raising this question up on
whether we should make sure e.g. shmem hwpoisoned pages still can be unpoisoned
for debugging purposes.
