Please don't post code during the merge-window, will this apply to v4.17-rc1? We can't know until its tagged. This series is doing two separate things, please split it into two series. But on the ACPI front: I don't see how any OS can support your NOTIFY_SEI when firmware is ignoring the normal world's PSTATE.A. The latest lobe of that discussion was on the list here: https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org/msg1611496.html As it is, we would need to spot SError being delivered while SError is masked, spray nasty messages about firmware being horrifically buggy, then panic(). For a corrected error, this looks bad, but its preferable to letting firmware silently overwrite the exception registers, causing linux to spin through the vectors 'eret' with all exceptions masked. I still think its best to wait for firmware that does the right thing.
