Hi Huang,

The original system needs to ship to our customer ASAP.  Disabling ghes is
sufficient for the time being for that.  As such, I have set up an
identical system as a temporary master for another cluster to continue
this testing.

I have applied your patch.  Here is the output of dmesg | grep GHES so far:


[    9.272198] GHES: gar mapped: 0, 0xbf7b5ff0
[    9.280782] GHES: gar mapped: 0, 0xbf7b6200
[    9.285102] [Firmware Warn]: GHES: Poll interval is 0 for generic
hardware error source: 1, disabled.

I have the serial console activated and stress tests started back up. 
I'll reply with the output once I get another panic.

Thanks!
Rick
