I'm afraid I don't really understand what you mean. Could you
try rephrasing it?
My understanding was:
* we get this signal if there is a RAS error in the host memory
* if we are exposing RAS errors to the guest (ie we have
told it that in the ACPI table we passed it at startup)
then we should pass on this error to the guest
but that these are two different conditions.
If the host hardware detects a RAS error in memory used
by the guest but the guest is not being told about RAS
errors, then we cannot report the error: we have no mechanism
to do so, and the guest is not expecting it.
