* High level machine check handler. Handles pages reported by the

+ * hardware as being corrupted usually due to a multi-bit ECC memory or cache
* failure.

+ * In addition there is a "soft offline" entry point that allows stop using
+ * not-yet-corrupted-by-suspicious pages without killing anything.

* Handles page cache pages in various states. The tricky part
- * here is that we can access any page asynchronous to other VM
- * users, because memory failures could happen anytime and anywhere,
- * possibly violating some of their assumptions. This is why this code
- * has to be extremely careful. Generally it tries to use normal locking
- * rules, as in get the standard locks, even if that means the
- * error handling takes potentially a long time.
- *
- * The operation to map back from RMAP chains to processes has to walk
- * the complete process list and has non linear complexity with the number
- * mappings. In short it can be quite slow. But since memory corruptions
- * are rare we hope to get away with this.

+ * There are several operations here with exponential complexity because
