I think there is a chance that we might miss the o/p of ghes_print_estatus() as we use
no pfx, and it could default to the normal loglevel and would never get printed
if panic() is encountered before it. On the other hand, there is already a
__ghes_panic() which does similar stuff. Is there a way we could reuse
(may be even parts of) it ? Or at least use KERN_EMERG for the ghes_print_estatus(),
if the severity could result in panic() ?

Cheers
