Re: [PATCH v2 2/2] mce: acpi/apei: Add a boot option to disable ffmode for corrected errors

From: Naveen N. Rao

Hi Tony, Boris,
Here is a patch which implements this technique. Kindly take a look and let me
know what you think.

Thanks,
Naveen

If the firmware indicates in GHES error data entry that the error threshold
has exceeded for a corrected error event, then we try to soft-offline the
page.
