+ Not all machines support hardware-driven error report. Some of those
+ provide a BIOS-driven error report mechanism via ACPI, using the
+ APEI/GHES driver. By enabling this option, the error reports provided
+ by GHES are sent to userspace via the EDAC API.
+
+ When this option is enabled, it will disable the hardware-driven
+ mechanisms, if a GHES BIOS is detected, entering into the
+ "Firmware First" mode.
+
+ It should be noticed that keeping both GHES and a hardware-driven
+ error mechanism won't work well, as BIOS will race with OS, while
+ reading the error registers. So, if you want to not use "Firmware
+ first" GHES error mechanism, you should disable GHES either at
+ compilation time or by passing "ghes.disable=1" Kernel parameter
+ at boot time.
+
+ In doubt, say 'Y'.
