Let me chime in a "mee too" from the HW errors perspective.

Concerning structure, we can use the format file in debugfs which
currently describes the fields of a tracepoint:

/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/../../format

and expand those to generic kernel events. Userspace parses the format
and knows exactly at what data it is looking at. Also, the idea is to
move that events hierarchy into sysfs so it will be present on every
system.

Hmm...
