    SubjectRe: [PATCH 0/3] recover hardware corrupted page by virtio balloon
    Some points to consider:

    The injected MCE has _done_ the damages to guest workload. Recovering
    the guest poisoned memory doesn't help with the already happened guest
    workload memory corruption / loss / interruption due to injected MCEs.

    The hypervisor _must_ emulate poisons identified in guest physical
    address space (could be transported from the source VM), this is to
    prevent silent data corruption in the guest. With a paravirtual
    approach like this patch series, the hypervisor can clear some of the
    poisoned HVAs knowing for certain that the guest OS has isolated the
    poisoned page. I wonder how much value it provides to the guest if the
    guest and workload are _not_ in a pressing need for the extra KB/MB
    worth of memory.

    Thanks,
    -Jue
