It was tested on ARM, together with QEMU error injection code I'm working
there. Currently, only GPIO and SEA notification types are supported, so
no x86 support yet (I'm trying to add SCI too, allowing to test on x86
as well[1]).

It sounds that bitfield.h is indirectly included from
arch/arm64/include/asm/sysreg.h when compiled on such arch.

Anyway, I'll add an include for it there.

[1] https://gitlab.com/mchehab_kernel/qemu/-/commits/TODO_x86_ghes?ref_type=heads
    code is not working yet. I'm stuck with an issue related with EDK2.
    on x86_64, it is failing to create a new fw_cfg file needed to
    store HEST error structures.

Mauro
