[RFC PATCH 4/5] GHES: Elliminate double-loop in the NMI handler

From: Borislav Petkov
Date: Fri Mar 27 2015 - 05:26:08 EST


From: Borislav Petkov <bp@xxxxxxx>

There's no real need to iterate twice over the HW error sources in the
NMI handler. With the previous cleanups, elliminating the second loop is
almost trivial.
