No, this doesn't work, because that signals the host virtual address

	unsigned long hva = gfn_to_hva_memslot(slot, gfn);

	send_sig_mceerr(BUS_MCEERR_AR, (void __user *)hva, PAGE_SHIFT, current);

which is the *shared* page.

EHWPOISON *is* implemented.  kvm_gmem_get_pfn() returns -EWPOISON as appropriate,
and kvm_faultin_pfn() returns that directly without going through kvm_handle_error_pfn().

  kvm_faultin_pfn_private()

  |-> kvm_gmem_get_pfn()
      |
      |-> if (folio_test_hwpoison(folio)) {
		r = -EHWPOISON;
		goto out_unlock;
	  }

          |
          |-> 	r = kvm_gmem_get_pfn(vcpu->kvm, fault->slot, fault->gfn, &fault->pfn,
			     &max_order);
		if (r) {
			kvm_mmu_prepare_memory_fault_exit(vcpu, fault);
			return r;
		}

		|
		|-> ret = __kvm_faultin_pfn(vcpu, fault);
		    if (ret != RET_PF_CONTINUE)
			    return ret;

		    if (unlikely(is_error_pfn(fault->pfn)))
			    return kvm_handle_error_pfn(vcpu, fault);
