I expect you mean MCE (machine check exception), rather than mca?

It would be nice if this spelled out a little more clearly what's
wrong. I think you and Aneesh are saying that the entry is really
a swap entry, created by the MCE response to a bad page?

If the MCE hwpoison behavior puts in swap entries, then it seems like all
page table walkers would need to check for p*d_present(), and maybe at all
levels too, right?
