From 6e320ec1d98f9eb93d5b2a5d70e2f40dce923f1b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Huang Ying Date: Tue, 18 May 2010 14:35:24 +0800 Subject: ACPI, APEI, EINJ injection parameters support Some hardware error injection needs parameters, for example, it is useful to specify memory address and memory address mask for memory errors. Some BIOSes allow parameters to be specified via an unpublished extension. This patch adds support to it. The parameters will be ignored on machines without necessary BIOS support.
