What's tricky about it?
Sure, there's a possibility that more than one entry could contribute to
a fault. But, you always know *IF* an entry could contribute to a fault.
I'm fine if you run through the logic, don't find a known reason
(specific RMP entry) for the fault, and dump the whole table in that
case. But, unconditionally polluting the kernel log with noise isn't
very nice for debugging.

OK... so dump the "in-use" bit here if you see it.

Oh, ok. That sounds fine. Documentation is out of date all the time.
