Hi Tyler,

ARM APEI extension proposal added SEA (Synchrounous External
Abort) notification type for ARMv8.
Add a new GHES error source handling function for SEA. If an error
source's notification type is SEA, then this function can be registered
into the SEA exception handler. That way GHES will parse and report
SEA exceptions when they occur.

Does this SEA is replayed by the firmware (firmware first handling)
or directly triggered by the hardware when error is happened?

Thanks
