Hi Bjorn,

That is a nice cleanup. I tested it on my firmware first system. 

Also, I double checked back through the ACPI spec, and there are
FIRMWARE_FIRST flags in the IA-32 Architecture Machine Check Exception
and IA-32 Architecture Corrected Machine Check error sources too. These
functions we are changing are specifically looking just for the AER
error sources. That is correct because AER firmware first is separate
from MCE/CMC firmware first. So, this patch looks good.
