Quoting version 6.1 of the ACPI specification. Section 18.3.1 "Boot
Error Source" says:
The Boot Error Region is a range of addressable memory OSPM can access
during initialization to determine if an unhandled error condition
occurred. System firmware must report this memory range as firmware
reserved. The format of the Boot Error Region follow that of an Error
Status Block, this is defined in Section 18.3.2.7. The format of the
error status block is described by Table 18-342.
This clarifies some points that were obfuscated in earlier versions.
E.g. there is no longer a separate table to describe the format of the
"Boot Error Region" (which was identical to the "Error Status Block").
Also saying "follow that of *an* Error Status Block" makes it clear that
there is just one block (which can still contain multiple "Generic Error
Data Entry structures").
The loop inside bert_print_all() is unnecessary (but probably harmless
as the "while (remain > sizeof(struct acpi_bert_region))" loop should
terminate after we skipped over the first entry.
We can drop the "bert_print_all()" function and just move the four
relevant lines inline in "bert_init()".

v3:
1) Back to just one patch (second part to delete the unused structure
definition can fly later via ACPICA tree).
2) Tyler Baicur ran some tests that included non-standard error support
and found that with an invalid BERT record the kernel loops forever
printing "section type: unknown" messages. He recommended putting
back the cper_estatus_check() test that I'd dropped. Here's the net
diff since v2:
if (boot_error_region->block_status) {
+ rc = cper_estatus_check(boot_error_region);
+ if (rc) {
+ pr_err(FW_BUG "Invalid error record.\n");
+ iounmap(boot_error_region);
+ return rc;
+ }
pr_info("Error records from previous boot:\n");
