With "too limited" you refer to unpoisioning?

Again very slowly:

- If you have a lot of errors you die eventually anyways.
- If you have a very low rate of errors (which is the normal case) you don't 
need unpoisioning because the memory lost for each error is miniscule.
- In the case of a hypervisor it's actually not memory lost, but only
guest physical address space, which is plenty on a 64bit system. You can 
eventually replace it by readding memory to a guest, but that's unlikely
to be needed.
