APEI is just the mechanism that collects the data, not the mechanism that reports to userspace. The current implementation is that APEI already reports those errors via ghes_edac driver. It also reports the very same error via MCE (although the APEI interface to MCE is currently broken for everything that it is not Nehalem-EX - as it basically emulates the MCE log for that specific architecture). I really don't see any sense on adding yet-another-way to report the very same error.
