These two can be slightly confusing when put together with hwpoison
entries, so maybe it'll be good to somehow attach a "marker" inside the
names:

  make_poisoned_marker_entry()
  is_pointed_marker_entry()

(the old helpers didn't attach a "marker" keyword because we started with
 consuming a swp entry type, I think)

But we can still identify easily with "hw" prefix being there or not, so
it's still pretty clear at least to me.  I'd say not worth a repost, so
your call to keep or change, just in case a new version for other reasons.
All fine here now:
