Let me explain it to you one _last_ time:

- severity: No real need for it. If the error is severe enough, the
kernel handles automatically, i.e. memory poisoning and recovery. In all
the other cases it is not severe enough.

- location: this is contained in the ->cpu field.

- silkscreen_label: <sarcasm> yeah, I'm getting a, say, a Data
Cache error during an L1 linefill from L2, what the f*ck does the
silkscreen label mean for such an error?! Well, nobody knows wtf it
means!</sarcasm>

- error_msg: already there in my patch.

So go and read and try _understanding_ this before you come back with
more crap, ok?

Not running away - trying not to waste time with bullshit.
