Actually, we can go even one radical step further and drop
ghes_severity() completely because GHES severity in the ACPI spec 5.0 is
defined almost exactly the same:
"18.3.2.6.1 Generic Error Data
...
Identifies the error severity of the reported error:
0 – Recoverable
1 – Fatal
2 – Corrected
3 – None
Note: This is the error severity of the entire event. Each Generic
Error Data Entry also includes its own Error Severity field."
I don't know which version of the spec dictated
enum {
GHES_SEV_NO = 0x0,
GHES_SEV_CORRECTED = 0x1,
GHES_SEV_RECOVERABLE = 0x2,
GHES_SEV_PANIC = 0x3,
};
though and whether we're going to have to differentiate between the old
and GHES numerical severity levels. Which, if we have to, would be very
nasty...
