In theory it could. The ACPI generic error structure used to report includes a 20-byte free format field which a BIOS could use to describe the location of the error. Haven't seen anyone do this yet - and our internal BIOS people looked at me like I was crazy to suggest such a thing. But I still entertain hopes that some OEM will do the right thing and raise the bar of usefulness.
