Machines with EDAC memory (ECC RAM) and other error-detecting/correcting hardware capabilities often expose it through the ACPI Platform Error Interface:

https://uefi.org/specs/ACPI/6.5/18_Platform_Error_Interfaces.html

NetBSD should:

2. ditch pages with uncorrectable errors if possible to do reliably
3. provide a way to inject errors
