This series is ill-formed:

- Jul 22 5:39 Shiju Jose ââ>[PATCH v13 1/2] ACPI / APEI: Add a notifier

- Jul 22 5:42 Shiju Jose ââ>[PATCH v13 2/2] PCI: hip: Add handling of Hi

Patches 1/2 and 2/2 never appear in the same thread. Both should be
replies to 0/2. And should be only *one* v13 0/2, not two :)
