Dan - 

Confirming my take-away from this email, and our chat:

Remove the by-region trigger_poison_list option entirely. User space
needs to trigger by-memdev the memdevs participating in the region and
filter those events by region.

Add the region info (region name, uuid) to the TRACE_EVENTs when the
poisoned DPA is part of any region.
