This is the diff of the HEST table before/after this series.

As already commented, the diff is basically:

	-[024h 0036 004h]          Error Source Count : 00000001
	+[024h 0036 004h]          Error Source Count : 00000002

Plus the new entry for source ID 1 using notify type 7 (GPIO):

	+[084h 0132 002h]               Subtable Type : 000A [Generic Hardware Error Source V2]
	+[086h 0134 002h]                   Source Id : 0001
	+[088h 0136 002h]           Related Source Id : FFFF
	...
	+[0A4h 0164 001h]                 Notify Type : 07 [GPIO]
	...
	+[0D0h 0208 008h]           Read Ack Preserve : FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFE
	+[0D8h 0216 008h]              Read Ack Write : 0000000000000001

Complete diff follows.
