At least the reference to x86 should be removed (if the option is used for another arch the text will be wrong and need to be changed again). -Robert -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

So you are right I will introduce HAVE_ACPI_APEI in next version of patches. Thanks.

Currently APEI depends on x86 architecture. It is because of NMI hardware error notification of GHES which is currently supported by x86 only. However, many other APEI features can be still used perfectly by other architectures. This commit adds ARCH_HAS_ACPI_APEI_NMI which will be used in next patches for NMI related code isolation in ghes.c file. Only NMI error notification feature depends on x86 so let it be hard selected for x86 arch.
