Bit 0 of the support parameter to the OSC call should be set in order to
indicate that the OS supports the WHEA mechanism. Stuart Hayes tracked
an APEI issue on some Dell platforms down to this.

APEI firmware first mode must be turned on explicitly on some
machines, otherwise there may be no GHES hardware error record for
hardware error notification. APEI bit in generic _OSC call can be
used to do that, but on some machine, a special WHEA _OSC call must be
used. This patch adds the support to that WHEA _OSC call.

Some actions in APEI ERST and EINJ tables are optional, for example,
ACPI_EINJ_BEGIN_OPERATION action is used to do some preparation for
error injection, and firmware may choose to do nothing here. While
some other actions are mandatory, for example, firmware must provide
ACPI_EINJ_GET_ERROR_TYPE implementation.
Original implementation treats all actions as optional (that is, can
have no instructions), that may cause issue if firmware does not
provide some mandatory actions. To fix this, this patch adds
apei_exec_run_optional, which should be used for optional actions.
The original apei_exec_run should be used for mandatory actions.

In ERST debug/test support patch, a dynamic allocated buffer is
used. The may-failed memory allocation should be tried firstly before
free the previous buffer.
APEI resource management memory allocation related error path is fixed
too.

APEI stands for ACPI Platform Error Interface, which allows to report
errors (for example from the chipset) to the operating system. This
improves NMI handling especially. In addition it supports error
serialization and error injection.
For more information about APEI, please refer to ACPI Specification
version 4.0, chapter 17.
This patch provides some common functions used by more than one APEI
tables, mainly framework of interpreter for EINJ and ERST.
A machine readable language is defined for EINJ and ERST for OS to
execute, and so to drive the firmware to fulfill the corresponding
functions. The machine language for EINJ and ERST is compatible, so a
common framework is defined for them.
