Adds a new ACPI init routine acpi_fixup_m400_quirks that adds
a work-around for HPE ProLiant m400 APEI firmware problems.
The work-around disables APEI when CONFIG_ACPI_APEI is set and
m400 firmware is detected. Without this fixup m400 systems
experience errors like these on startup:
[Hardware Error]: Hardware error from APEI Generic Hardware Error Source: 2
[Hardware Error]: event severity: fatal
[Hardware Error]: Error 0, type: fatal
[Hardware Error]: section_type: memory error
[Hardware Error]: error_status: 0x0000000000001300
[Hardware Error]: error_type: 10, invalid address
Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal hardware error!

Hi,
It seems unlikely there will be any m400 firmware updates to fix
this problem. APEI support is desired for new ARM64 servers coming
to market. Distros are now forced to have their own fixes, not
enable APEI, or let m400 users fend for themselves.
Please consider.
