Right you are! I need to sit on this much more and think about it with a
clean head.

...here is no way you could tell it contains garbage or not. You
have to assume it is garbage. (my recent patch even poisons the memmap
when offlining, which helped to find a lot of these "garbage memmap" BUGs)
online_pages()
...
move_pfn_range_to_zone(zone, pfn, nr_pages, NULL);
...
memmap_init_zone()
-> memmap initialized
So yes, offlining memory with HWPoison and re-onlining it effectively
drops HWPoison markers. On the next access, you will trigger a new HWPoison.
