One much more important thing I forgot about yesterday: how is
this thing playing into our RAS reporting, x86 decoding chain, etc
infrastructure?

Is CPER bypassing it completely and the firmware is doing everything
now? I sure hope not.

If not, it needs to tie into our infrastructure and the errors need
to go into the decoding chain where different things look at them and
filter them.

Tony, what are your plans here?

Perhaps we can finally get MCE decoding on Intel too :-)

Thx.
