Right, so I'd like to you create a separate function ghes_do_proc_aer()
or ghes_handle_aer() or so and carve out all the code inside #ifdef
CONFIG_ACPI_APEI_PCIEAER into it, add your two changes to the patch and
slap a big fat comment above the new function explaining *why* we're
doing what we're doing and how we're mapping all the severities to AER
severity in order to do recovery and/or only to print the error.

So that it is known and people can see in the future why we're doing
this and what the logic has been and what kind of policy we're chasing
and so on and so on...

Ok?

Thanks.
