Maybe the following is better?

"Since the first page of tail page structs is remapped read-only,
 we cannot modify any tail struct page, and so we cannot set
 the HWPoison flag on a tail page.
 We can make use of head[4].private to record the real hwpoisoned
 page index.
 Right before freeing the page the real raw page will be retrieved
 and marked as HWPoison.
"

I think it is slighly clearer, but whatever.

come up with a better one myself, so:
