Huang Ying f59c55d04b ACPI, APEI, Add APEI generic error status printing support
In APEI, Hardware error information reported by firmware to Linux
kernel is in the data structure of APEI generic error status (struct
acpi_hes_generic_status).  While now printk is used by Linux kernel to
report hardware error information to user space.

So, this patch adds printing support for the data structure, so that
the corresponding hardware error information can be reported to user
space via printk.

PCIe AER information printing is not implemented yet.  Will refactor the
original PCIe AER information printing code to avoid code duplicating.

The output format is as follow:

<error record> :=
APEI generic hardware error status
severity: <integer>, <severity string>
section: <integer>, severity: <integer>, <severity string>
flags: <integer>
<section flags strings>
fru_id: <uuid string>
fru_text: <string>
section_type: <section type string>
<section data>

<severity string>* := recoverable | fatal | corrected | info

<section flags strings># :=

[, resource not accessible][, latent error]

<section type string> := generic processor error | memory error | \
PCIe error | unknown, <uuid string>

Where, [] designate corresponding content is optional

All <field string> description with * has the following format:

field: <integer>, <field string>

Where value of <integer> should be the position of "string" in <field
string> description. Otherwise, <field string> will be "unknown".

All <field strings> description with # has the following format:

field: <integer>
<field strings>

Where each string in <fields strings> corresponding to one set bit of
<integer>. The bit position is the position of "string" in <field
strings> description.

For more detailed explanation of every field, please refer to UEFI
specification version 2.3 or later, section Appendix N: Common
Platform Error Record.
