Hello Andrew, Borislav, Tony,

Introduce a generic infrastructure for tracking recoverable hardware
errors (HW errors that are visible to the OS but does not cause a panic)
and record them for vmcore consumption. This aids post-mortem crash
analysis tools by preserving a count and timestamp for the last
occurrence of such errors. On the other side, correctable errors, which
the OS typically remains unaware of because the underlying hardware
handles them transparently, are less relevant for crash dump
and therefore are NOT tracked in this infrastructure.

Do you know what is the right tree for this patch?

I am wondering if it should go through Kdump, x86 or RAS/MCE tree?

Thanks
