ACPI, APEI, Add APEI bit support in generic _OSC call
In APEI firmware first mode, hardware error is reported by hardware to firmware firstly, then firmware reports the error to Linux in a GHES error record via POLL/SCI/IRQ/NMI etc. This may result in some issues if OS has no full APEI support. So some firmware implementation will work in a back-compatible mode by default. Where firmware will only notify OS in old-fashion, without GHES record. For example, for a fatal hardware error, only NMI is signaled, no GHES record. To gain full APEI power on these machines, APEI bit in generic _OSC call can be specified to tell firmware that Linux has full APEI support. This patch adds the APEI bit support in generic _OSC call.
