Hi, Robert,

Thank you for your quick comments! I will change these in the next version.

I will add a new patch to unify ghes and cper before removing duplication.

I will add EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()s.

Will document the dependency and add UEFI_CPER dependency explicit for
EDAC_GHES in Kconfig in next version.
