Tried it out on an Intel Icelake machine. Seems like it is doing something
reasonable: I end up with this "oem_error" file:

# ls -l oem_error
-rw-------. 1 root root 0 Nov 7 14:26 oem_error

Which is 24 bytes full of zeroes:

# od -t x1 oem_error
0000000 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
0000020 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
0000030

I'm not sure what OEM specific errors are implemented on this machine,
so that's as far as I'm able to test.

So apart from s/0444/0666/ in part 2, and a better commit description for
part 3 you can have a:
