+config ACPI_APEI
+        bool "ACPI Platform Error Interface (APEI)"
+        depends on X86
+        help
+          APEI allows to report errors (for example from the chipset)
+          to the operating system. This improves NMI handling
+          especially. In addition it supports error serialization and
+          error injection.

+        help
+          Generic Hardware Error Source provides a way to report
+          platform hardware errors (such as that from chipset). It
+          works in so called "Firmware First" mode, that is, hardware
+          errors are reported to firmware firstly, then reported to
+          Linux by firmware. This way, some non-standard hardware
+          error registers or non-standard hardware link can be checked
+          by firmware to produce more valuable hardware error
+          information for Linux.

+config ACPI_APEI_EINJ

+        depends on ACPI_APEI && DEBUG_FS
+        help
+          EINJ provides a hardware error injection mechanism, it is
+          mainly used for debugging and testing the other parts of
+          APEI and some other RAS features.
