[PATCH 01/17] ACPI, APEI, HEST, Detect duplicated hardware error source ID

From: Huang Ying
Date: Wed Jul 13 2011 - 01:18:31 EST


The firmware on some machine will report duplicated hardware error
source ID in HEST. This is considered a firmware bug. To provide
better warning message, this patch adds duplicated hardware error
source ID detecting and corresponding printk.

This patch fixes #37412 on kernel bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37412
