I tried to keep this behaviour 'the same' because I don't think there is a 'right thing' to do here: If the SError is due to some catastrophic failure, we should panic the host. If the SError is due to the guest poking a device we don't want to panic the host. We can't tell these two cases apart. We can spot RAS errors and handle those.
