Hi James,
   thanks for the patch, have you consider to told Qemu or KVM tools
the reason for this bus error(SEA/SEI)?

when Qemu or KVM tools get this SIGBUS signal, it do not know receive
this SIGBUS due to SEA or SEI.
OR KVM only send this SIGBUS when encounter SEA? if so, for the SEI
case, how to let Qemu simulate to generate CPER for guest OS SEI.
