I have one thought here but don't know if it's proper:

Previous patch use force_sig_mceerr to the user process for such a scenario; with this method
The SIGBUS can't be ignored as force_sig_mceerr() was designed to.

If the user process don't want this signal, will it set signal config to ignore?
Maybe we can use a send_sig_mceerr() instead of force_sig_mceerr(), if process want to
ignore the SIGBUS, then it will ignore that, or it can also process the SIGBUS?
