So what happens if you store to a poisoned cacheline on Intel? It'll
raise a poison consumption error when that cacheline is loaded in the
cache? Because you need to load that line into the cache for writing,
I'd presume...

What happens if you have bits flipped in the cacheline you want to write
to?

That's fine because you're overwriting them anyway?

I'd presume ECC check gets performed on cacheline load and then you'll
have to raise an #MC...
