FTR, this is starting to make sense, thanks for explaining.

Replying only to this one for now:

So this is for ARM folks to deal with, BUT:

A consumed uncorrectable error on x86 means panic. On some hw like on
AMD, that error doesn't even get seen by the OS but the hw does
something called syncflood to prevent further error propagation. So
there's no any action required - the hw does that.

But I'd like to hear from ARM folks whether consuming an uncorrectable
error even lets software run. Dunno.

Thx.
