I have a patch below to add a trace event to expose arm processor error information
to user space. Would you take it to your series or later series if possible.
Any comments is welcome.

This patch is just compile OK. I have no arm box for testing just now.
Any one who can help to test it is very grateful.

Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] trace: ras: add ARM processor error information trace event

Add a new trace event for ARM processor error information, so that
the user will know what error occurred. With this information the
user may take appropriate action.

These trace events are consistent with the ARM processor error
information table which defined in UEFI 2.6 spec section N.2.4.4.1.
