Thanks!

Ok; why do powerpc and x86 have separate copy_mc_to_user()
implementations, then?

AFAICT my suggestion doesn't change that; if we don't have a fixup the
proprosed do_apei_claim_sea() would return false, and so do_sea() would
caryy on to arm64_notify_die(...).
I'm specifically asking if we need to avoid calling apei_claim_sea()
when we don't have a fixup handler, or if calling that would be fine.
One important thing is that if apei_claim_sea() fails to claim the SEA,
we'd like to panic(), and in that case it'd be good to have not applied
the fixup handler, so that the pt_regs::pc shows where the fault was
taken from.
