As far as I know, APEI only defines five injection instructions, ACPI_EINJ_READ_REGISTER,
ACPI_EINJ_READ_REGISTER_VALUE, ACPI_EINJ_WRITE_REGISTER, ACPI_EINJ_WRITE_REGISTER_VALUE and
ACPI_EINJ_NOOP. ACPI_EINJ_TRIGGER_ERROR action should run one of them, I don't see
any of them will kick the patrol scrubber. For example, trigger with ACPI_EINJ_READ_REGISTER:

apei_exec_run(&trigger_ctx, ACPI_EINJ_TRIGGER_ERROR)
    __apei_exec_run	// ins=0
        => apei_exec_read_register
            => apei_read
                => acpi_os_read_memory
                    => acpi_map_vaddr_lookup    /* lookup VA of PA from acpi_ioremap */
                    => acpi_os_ioremap
		    => acpi_os_read_iomem
			=> *(u32 *) value = readl(virt_addr);

As we can see, the error is triggered by access from the core. However, the physical
address can NOT be mapped by acpi_os_ioremap.

If I missed anything, please let me know. Thank you very much.
