I'm not sure it matters either. You're adding all that code and
task_struct member just because the kernel sends SIGBUS on a memory
failure. Oh well.

How is that more beneficial for the overall recovery strategy than
killing the current task? IOW, what is the real, practical advantage of
this and why do we want to support it indefinitely?

Thx.
