Hi James,
  I have a comment here:

I heard from our CPU hardware team, when happen HWpoison, CPU hardware does not record the IPA address in the HPFAR_EL2.
Only when the SEA error is related to the page table walk, the HPFAR_EL2 register is updated.
here we got the pfn/gfn from the register HPFAR_EL2, if CPU does not update the HPFAR_EL2 register, we may can not use this method to get the pfn/gfn.
could you confirm arm's armv8.0/armv8.2 standard CPU also use such design? if so, we may need to use other method to get the gfn/pfn/hva address.
