Subject: "invalid agent type: 1" in acpi/ghes, cper: Recognize and cache CXL
 Protocol errors

Hi Smita,

  The code below triggers the error "invalid agent type: 1" in Intel
validation (internal issue 15018133056)

It's not clear to anyone we asked why you did not include RCH_DP in
the `switch (prot_err->agent_type)` in cxl_cper_post_prot_err() below.

I can see how RCH_DP is special in cxl_cper_PRINT_prot_err() and I can
even understand (despite my near-zero CPER knowledge) some of the
special cases there. But in cxl_cper_post_prot_err() here, it's not
clear why RCH_DP would be rejected. Could this be an oversight? If not,
a comment with a short explanation would not hurt.

Marc

PS: the newer cxl_cper_post_prot_err() code is longer and does
something with `wd`. That's irrelevant for this test case since the
function errors and returns earlier anyway.
