Subject: Re: [PATCH v6 10/18] ACPI / APEI: preparatory split of ghes->estatus

Pls have an active formulation in your Subject and start it with a capital
letter, i.e., something like:

	"Split ghes->estatus in preparation for... "

The NMI-like notifications scribble over ghes->estatus, before
copying it somewhere else. If this interrupts the ghes_probe() code
calling ghes_proc() on each struct ghes, the data is corrupted.

We want the NMI-like notifications to use a queued estatus entry
Pls formulate commit messages in passive voice.

from the beginning. To that end, break up any use of "ghes->estatus"
so that all functions take the estatus as an argument.

This patch is just moving code around, no change in behaviour.

Yeah, let that line stick out - it is easier to follow the code this
