Series status/background
========================

Smita has been a great help with this series.  Thank you again!

Smita's testing found that the GHES code ended up printing the events
twice.  This version avoids the duplicate print by calling the callback
from the GHES code instead of the EFI code as suggested by Dan.

I'm not sure this is working as intended.

There is nothing gating the call in ghes_proc() of ghes_print_estatus()
and now the EFI code handling that pretty printed things is missing we get
the horrible kernel logging for an unknown block instead.

So I think we need some minimal code in cper.c to match the guids then not
log them (on basis we are arguing there is no need for new cper records).
Otherwise we are in for some messy kernel logs

Something like:

{1}[Hardware Error]: Hardware error from APEI Generic Hardware Error Source: 1
{1}[Hardware Error]: event severity: recoverable
{1}[Hardware Error]:  Error 0, type: recoverable
{1}[Hardware Error]:   section type: unknown, fbcd0a77-c260-417f-85a9-088b1621eba6

(I'm filling the record with 0s currently)

Yeah, when I tested this, I thought its okay for the hexdump to be there in dmesg from EFI as the handling is done in trace events from GHES.

If, we need to handle from EFI, then it would be a good reason to move the GUIDs out from GHES and place it in a common location for EFI/cper to share similar to protocol errors.

Thanks,
Smita
