Ok, what error type is that in EINJ nomenclature? I had only

/sys/kernel/debug/apei/einj/available_error_type:0x00000002     Processor Uncorrectable non-fatal
/sys/kernel/debug/apei/einj/available_error_type:0x00000008     Memory Correctable
/sys/kernel/debug/apei/einj/available_error_type:0x00000010     Memory Uncorrectable non-fatal

and I would've guessed it is the 0x10 type, i.e., the memory
uncorrectable which is non-fatal - assuming here - but that one got
promoted to a #MC on my box.

The processor uncorrectable didn't want to inject due to missing EINJ
instruction 0x5 or so...

Good.
