If the firmware indicates in GHES error data entry that the error threshold
has exceeded for a corrected error event, then we try to soft-offline the
page. This could be called in interrupt context, so we queue this up similar
to how we handle memory failure scenarios.

Yuck, this looks like BIOS code.

Can we carve out this into a function and do

void function(.. )
{
#ifdef CONFIG_ACPI_APEI_MEMORY_FAILURE

	<code at 1st indentation, much more readable>

#endif
}

so that we can nicely call it from ghes_do_proc()?

Sure.

Why a new bool? This flags int looks nice above. :)

D'uh! I considered that, but I can't recall why I chose not to use that! Let me redo this patch.

Thanks,
Naveen
