]

Will do, 'host' and add PCIe serial no.

Not always.
In the case above, where the trigger was by memdev, no.
Region= and region_uuid= (and in the follow-on patch, hpa=) only get
populated if the poison was triggered by region, like the case below.

It could be looked up for the by memdev cases. Is that wanted?

Thanks for the reviews Dan!
