Description
When fma support for x86 was first put back, there were issues with eversholt using lots of memory for each non-closed page retire case. To avoid this the page retire is just retried 5 times on x86 and then the case is closed anyway. As the underlying eft problem was fixed ages ago (see 6416496 and 6480629), this limitation on retries is no longer needed and we could/should revert to the sparc behaviour of retrying indefinitely.
