What's so special about it being a "sync_"?

task_work is just fine and something else could use it too.

What is "ret_to_user"?

If this is an ARM thing, then make sure you explain stuff properly and
detailed. This driver is used by multiple architectures.

Ugly linebreak - no need for it.

I have no clue why this is being removed.

Why doesn't a synchronous exception on ARM call into ghes_proc_in_irq()?

That SDEI thing certainly does.

Well looka here:

  7f17b4a121d0 ("ACPI: APEI: Kick the memory_failure() queue for synchronous errors")

that thing does exactly what you're trying to "fix". So why doesn't that
work for you?
