I think the code here is fine, but we need to put this in front of the ACPI
maintainers, and if we can, make their job easy.

How did you come up with the CC list for this patch? scripts/get_maintainer.pl
lists:
> "Rafael J. Wysocki" <rjw at rjwysocki.net> (supporter:ACPI,commit_signer:2/4=50%)
> Len Brown <lenb at kernel.org> (supporter:ACPI)

as the maintainers for the file changed by this patch, but they weren't CCd.

Did you use git format-patch to create this? All the other patches on the list
have subjects of the form "[PATCH] acpi: apei....", the {}s confuse 'git am'
meaning whoever applies this would have to edit your patch before applying it.


Your commit message doesn't add anything that wasn't in the subject-line. It
should describe the reason for the change. Based on Hanjun's explanation I can
offer:
---
System Controller Interrupts are received by ACPI's error device, which in turn
notifies the GHES code. The same is true of APEI's GSIV and GPIO notification types.
Add support for GSIV and GPIO sharing the SCI register/unregister/notifier code.
Rename the list and notifier to show this is no longer just SCI, but anything
from the Hardware Error Device.

---

If you're confident you solved this the right way, (which I think we are), you
should drop the 'RFC' from the subject. RFC indicates you don't think this
should be merged you just want feedback.



Thanks,

James
