ACPI, APEI, GHES, Do not ratelimit fatal error printk before panic
printk is used by GHES to report hardware errors. Normally, the printk will be ratelimited to avoid too many hardware error reports in kernel log. Because there may be thousands or even millions of corrected hardware errors during system running. That is different for fatal hardware error, because system will go panic as soon as possible, there will be no more than several error records. And these error records are valuable for system fault diagnosis, so they should not be ratelimited. Signed-off-by: Huang Ying <ying.huang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
