[Xen-devel] [PATCH] Add support for old and new bios erst, enable mce_apei logic

["Liu, Jinsong" <jinsong.liu@xxxxxxxxx>]

Add support for old and new bios erst, enable mce_apei logic

When testing, we found different bios has different understanding about APEI 
ERST table header, depending on whether it count ACPI standard header or not.
This patch add support for both bios version, and enable mce_apei.
