    HEST describes error sources in detail; communicating operational
    parameters (i.e. severity levels, masking bits, and threshold values)
    to OS as necessary. It also allows the platform to report error
    sources for which OS would typically not implement support (for
    example, chipset-specific error registers).
    
    HEST information may be needed by other subsystems. For example, HEST
    PCIE AER error source information describes whether a PCIE root port
    works in "firmware first" mode, this is needed by general PCIE AER
    error subsystem. So a public HEST tabling parsing interface is
    provided.
