Sorry I have to retract this back a bit. I remembered I started with the 
intention
Of using NOTIFY_STOP but realized that we would not be doing any accounting in 
this function.

Sorry I have to retract my previous comment about stopping further consumers a 
bit.
I remembered I started with the intention to use NOTIFY_STOP but realized we 
were not doing any accounting in this function.
Later I guess I went by the comments put against NOTIFY_OK in notifier.h:
#define NOTIFY_DONE             0x0000          /* Don't care */
#define NOTIFY_OK               0x0001          /* Suits me */

Because this was a correctable error on GPU UMC, NOTIFY_OK ("Suits me") was 
probably more suited to this condition,
even though we were not taking any action on the correctable errors.
