A RAS (Reliability, Availability, Serviceability) controller
may be a separate processor running in parallel with OS
execution, and may generate error records for consumption by
the OS. If the RAS controller produces multiple error records,
then they may be overwritten before the OS has consumed them.

The Generic Hardware Error Source (GHES) v2 structure
introduces the capability for the OS to acknowledge the
consumption of the error record generated by the RAS
controller. A RAS controller supporting GHESv2 shall wait for
the acknowledgment before writing a new error record, thus
eliminating the race condition.

Add support for parsing of GHESv2 sub-tables as well.

Yeah, that linebreak just to keep the 80-cols rule makes the code ugly
and hard to read.

Please put that mapping and unmapping in wrappers called
map_gen_v2(ghes) and unmap_gen_v2(ghes) or so, so that you can call them
wherever needed. Thus should make the flow a bit more understandable
what's going on and you won't have to repeat the unmapping lines in
ghes_fini().
Hello Boris,

Thank you for the feedback. I will make this change in the next version.

Yeah, let them stick out, it more readable this way. Line spacing is
helpful too:

...
         rc = apei_read(&val, &generic_v2->read_ack_register);
         if (rc)
                 return rc;

         val |= generic_v2->read_ack_write    << generic_v2->read_ack_register.bit_offset;

         return apei_write(val, &generic_v2->read_ack_register);
}
I will make this change in the next version.

Thanks,
Tyler
