+EDAC, Boris and Tony for RAS comments.

Any comments from ACPI folks?

Thanks,

Maybe you should add the other instruction types that make sense
here (ACPI_EINJ_READ_REGISTER, ACPI_EINJ_READ_REGISTER_VALUE and
ACPI_EINJ_WRITE_REGISTER) as a sanity check against the BIOS
giving you an action in the trigger table that doesn't involve
a memory access?

Yes, in that case we can do:
entry->instruction <= ACPI_EINJ_WRITE_REGISTER_VALUE

That would cover all the memory access instructions and protect against invalid
instructions.

How does that sound?

Thanks,

Perfect.
