Public bug reported: On a Supermicro X7SB4 based system the kernel outputs a host of error messages of the form:
[ 713.444010] ghes_read_estatus: 11 callbacks suppressed [ 713.444014] [Firmware Warn]: GHES: Failed to read error status block address for hardware error source: 10. [ 713.520005] [Firmware Warn]: GHES: Failed to read error status block address for hardware error source: 10. [ 713.836007] [Firmware Warn]: GHES: Failed to read error status block address for hardware error source: 9.

[ 715.444005] [Firmware Warn]: GHES: Failed to read error status block address for hardware error source: 10.

[ 716.236007] [Firmware Warn]: GHES: Failed to read error status block address for hardware error source: 9. This happens with 32-bit kernels (both -pae and non-pae). This may or may not be a duplicate of bug 881164 (this is for a Precise kernel and the hardware is not Dell PowerEdge).
