So I think it's > safe to drop them. even though example describes 'same' error at different components, the bit fields descriptions doesn't set any limits on what 'more than one' means. Also from guest POV it's multiple different pages that we are reporting here as multiple CPERs. It seems to me that setting *_MULTIPLE_* here is correct thing to do. > >> +#define ACPI_GEBS_ERROR_DATA_ENTRIES 4 > > > > This is bits 4-13 and the define isn't used.
