Hi - this is going slow :(

A few comments inline in the meantime but this really needs ARM maintainers
to take a (hopefully final) look.

Does anyone care enough about the alignment to bother realigning for one
long line? I'd be tempted not to bother, but up to maintainers.

Alignment looks off?

I'd keep to the the (apei_claim_sea(regs) == 0)
used in the original code. That hints to the reader that we are
interested here in an 'error' code rather than apei_claim_sea() returning
a bool.   I initially wondered why we return true when the code
fails to claim it.

Also, perhaps if you return 0 for success and an error code if not
you could just make this

        if (user_mode(regs))
                return apei_claim_sea(regs);

        if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_COPY_MC)) {
                if (fixup_exception_me(regs)) {
                        return apei_claim_sea(regs);
                }
        }

        return false;

or maybe even (I may have messed this up, but I think this logic
works).

        if (!user_mode(regs) && IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_COPY_MC)) {
                if (!fixup_exception_me(regs))
                        return false;
        }
        return apei_claim_sea(regs);

Same here with using apei_claim_sea(regs) == 0 so it's obvious we
are checking for an error, not a boolean.

It might be made sense to factor this out first, then could be reviewed
as a noop before the new stuff is added.  Still it's not much code, so doesn't
really matter.
Might be worth keeping to returning 0 for success, error code
otherwise as per apei_claim_sea(regs)

The bool returning functions in the nearby code tend to be is_xxxx
not things that succeed or not.

If you change it to return int make this
        if (do_apei_claim_sea(regs) == 0)
so it's obvious this is the no error case.
