I'm a bit puzzled why this function has "smca" in the name. I think it is called
unconditionally on Intel as well as AMD systems ... and looks like it will do useful
things if Intel someday has a hybrid server that reports APEI errors (maybe it is
already useful on hybrid clients?).

Otherwise this look looks fine.
