Yeah, that would be a nasty, back-stabbing SNAFU.

So I'm thinking of adding a bunch of FW_ERR sanity checks to that whole
ghes_edac and ghes init code to hopefully catch issues during platform
validation. I.e., early enough for them to get fixed.

But that's the same problem as with UEFI - vendors need to try to boot
Linux on their platforms early enough.
