The UEFI spec includes non-standard section type support in the
Common Platform Error Record. This is defined in section N.2.3 of
UEFI version 2.5.
Currently if the CPER section's type (UUID) does not match any
section type that the kernel knows how to parse, a trace event is
not generated.
Generate a trace event which contains the raw error data for
non-standard section type error records.

Introduce a simple data structure for collecting correctable errors
along with accessors. More detailed description in the code itself.
The error decoding is done with the decoding chain now and
mce_first_notifier() gets to see the error first and the CEC decides
whether to log it and then the rest of the chain doesn't hear about it -
basically the main reason for the CE collector - or to continue running
the notifiers.
When the CEC hits the action threshold, it will try to soft-offine the
page containing the ECC and then the whole decoding chain gets to see
the error.
