Even if an error status block's severity is fatal, the kernel does not
honor the severity level and panic.
With the firmware first model, the platform could inform the OS about a
fatal hardware error through the non-NMI GHES notification type. The OS
should panic when a hardware error record is received with this
severity.
Call panic() after CPER data in error status block is printed if
severity is fatal, before each error section is handled.

I think there is a chance that we might miss the o/p of ghes_print_estatus() as we use
no pfx, and it could default to the normal loglevel and would never get printed
if panic() is encountered before it. On the other hand, there is already a
__ghes_panic() which does similar stuff. Is there a way we could reuse
(may be even parts of) it ? Or at least use KERN_EMERG for the ghes_print_estatus(),
if the severity could result in panic() ?
Cheers
