The actions are typically contradictory in some way, that is why I made them "actions". The modifiers are all things that could be made into flags in a straightforward way.
Probably it could be all turned into flags, but that would make the patch much more intrusive for rmap.c than it currently is, with some restructuring needed, which I didn't want to do.
Hwpoison in general is designed to not be intrusive.
