I would make the names coherent.
I am not definitely goot at names, but something like:
hwpoison_subpage_{foo,bar} looks better.

Also, could not subpage_hwpoison_deliver be rewritten like:

  static inline void subpage_hwpoison_deliver(struct hstate *h, struct page *head)
  {
       struct page *page;
  
       if (!PageHWPoison(head) || !free_vmemmap_pages_per_hpage(h))
               return;
  
       page = head + page_private(head + 4);
       /*
        * Move PageHWPoison flag from head page to the raw error page,
        * which makes any subpages rather than the error page reusable.
        */
       if (page != head) {
               SetPageHWPoison(page);
               ClearPageHWPoison(head);
       }
  }

I think it is better code-wise.

I would put this in an else-if above:

	if (free_vmemmap_pages_per_hpage(h)) {
		set_page_private(head + 4, page - head);
	        return;
	} else if (page != head) {
		SetPageHWPoison(page);
		ClearPageHWPoison(head);
	}

or will we lose the optimization in case free_vmemmap_pages_per_hpage gets compiled out?
