maybe ..._generic_error_status???

see CODING_STYLE, 1.1 Multiline Indent

when describing filds from spec try to add 'verbatim' copy of the name from spec
so it would be esy to grep for it. Like:
       /* Block Status */
> +    build_append_int_noprefix(table, block_status, 4);
       /* Raw Data Offset */

note applies all other places where you compose ACPI tables

this and previous patch, it might be better to to move declaration
to its own header, for example to include/hw/acpi/acpi_ghes.h
that you are adding later in the series.
And maybe move helpers to hw/acpi/acpi_ghes.c
They are not really independent ACPI primitives that are shared
with other tables, aren't they?
