[PATCH] ACPI, APEI, Add APEI _OSC support

From: Huang Ying
Date: Wed May 25 2011 - 02:05:50 EST


In APEI firmware first mode, hardware error is reported by hardware to
firmware firstly, then firmware reports the error to Linux in a GHES
error record via POLL/SCI/IRQ/NMI etc.

This may result in some issues if OS has no full APEI support. So
some firmware implementation will work in a back-compatible mode by
default. Where firmware will only notify OS in old-fashion, without
GHES record. For example, for a fatal hardware error, only NMI is
signaled, no GHES record.

To gain full APEI power on these machines, a special APEI _OSC needs
to be evaluated to tell firmware that Linux has full APEI support.
This patch add the APEI _OSC support.
