ARM APEI extension proposal added SEA (Synchrounous External
Abort) notification type for ARMv8.
Add a new GHES error source handling function for SEA. If an error
source's notification type is SEA, then this function can be registered
into the SEA exception handler. That way GHES will parse and report
SEA exceptions when they occur.

+	  and handles hardware error notifications with SEA, and it may then

+	  take appropriate action.

OK, I can see that it's firmware first handling, so it's triggered
by firmware to me, correct me if I'm wrong.

Hmm, some platform may trigger a interrupt to OS for firmware handling
and it's in the ACPI 6.1 spec, is it a limitation now, or we need to
add code later to support it?

Thanks
