It tells the kernel that it is consuming the error info from the
tracepoints.

Yeah, and then they'll come and say: ew, we're getting error duplicates
- once logged in dmesg and once through the tracepoints.
So just like with the other thread, we have to figure out what our
scheme will be wrt hw error logging, agree on it and then make it
consistent.
Do we want to have both? Should it be configurable? Probably...
Anything else...?
Thx.
