# ./page-types -Nlr -b hwpoison
offset len flags
99a000 1 __________B________X_______________________
99c000 1 __________B________X_______________________
99e000 1 __________B________X_______________________
9a0000 1 __________B________X_______________________
ba6000 1 __________B________X_______________________
baa000 1 __________B________X_______________________

Every single one of pfns was like this,

# ./page-types -Nlr -a 0x99a000
offset len flags
99a000 1 __________B________X_______________________

# ./page-types -Nlr -a 0x99e000
offset len flags
99e000 1 __________B________X_______________________

# ./page-types -Nlr -a 0x99c000
offset len flags
99c000 1 __________B________X_______________________
