Hardware scope for poison is a cache line (64 bytes for DDR, may be larger
for the internals of 3D-Xpoint memory).
So you can access the other lines in the page. You just need to be careful
not to access the poison. Setting the cache mode for the page to uncacheable
ensures that h/w prefetchers and speculative access don't accidently touch
the poison while accessing nearby cache lines.
