I think this is fine, and it mirrors what is done in
handle_error_source().

But I want to converge the APEI path and the "native" AER path, so as
one tiny step in that direction, can you look into doing this test
once, e.g., move the test from handle_error_source() into
do_recovery(), where one test will handle both paths?
