SError is System Error, which is a asynchronous exception in the Internal CPU.

In the ARM RAS Extension, there are mainly two type abort for CPU:
SEA(Synchronous External Abort)
SEI(SError Interrupt)

This function is used to notify APEI driver to parse APEI table and do some
recovery, such as calling memrory_failure() to identify the address to a
poisoned memory and deliver SIGBUS to related application.

Ok, thanks for your good suggestion, I will consider to use a better name.

Thanks for your suggestion again. I will flowing that and add a whole set
of *sei() functions.
