What happens is that:

- with memory errors, this logic at acpi_ghes_memory_errors() will
  report the error, just like error_report():

	    if (errp) {
	        error_report_err(errp);
	        return -1;
	    }

  so, no practical changes.

- for injections via script, this will return the error via QMP
  interface, preventing the guest crash.

The script can then handle it the way it wants (right now, it just
prints the error).

Thanks,
Mauro
