Subject: [PATCH v8 1/3] acpi: apei: Rename GHES_SEV_PANIC to GHES_SEV_FATAL
Date:   Mon,  4 Jun 2018 10:04:38 -0500

From: Alexandru Gagniuc <mr.nuke.me@gmail.com>

'GHES_SEV_PANIC' implies that the kernel must panic. That was true
many years ago when fatal errors could not be handled and recovered.
However, this is no longer the case with PCIe AER and DPC errors. The
latter class of errors are contained at the hardware level.
'GHES_SEV_PANIC' is confusing because it implies a policy to crash the
system on fatal errors. Drop this questionable policy, and rename the
enum to 'GHES_SEV_FATAL' to better convey the meaning.
