I'm not sure this is working as intended. 

There is nothing gating the call in ghes_proc() of ghes_print_estatus()
and now the EFI code handling that pretty printed things is missing we get
the horrible kernel logging for an unknown block instead.

So I think we need some minimal code in cper.c to match the guids then not
log them (on basis we are arguing there is no need for new cper records).
Otherwise we are in for some messy kernel logs

Something like:
