Yes, indeed. ARM_PROC_ERR_FLAGS might have more than on bit set.
Could we use __print_flags instead? like:

#define show_proc_err_flags(flags) __print_flags(flags, "|", \
{ CPER_ARM_INFO_FLAGS_FIRST, "First error captured" }, \
{ CPER_ARM_INFO_FLAGS_LAST, "Last error captured" }, \
{ CPER_ARM_INFO_FLAGS_PROPAGATED, "Propagated" }, \
{ CPER_ARM_INFO_FLAGS_OVERFLOW, "Overflow" }}

I'll use this style next version, thanks.
