I'm still scared about the as of now commnet.  If the interface to
clearing poison is page aligned I think we should document that in the
actual pmem_clear_poison function, and make that take the unaligned
offset.  I also think we want some feedback from Dan or other what the
official interface is instead of "seems to work".
