      ACPI, APEI, Add ERST record ID cache · 885b976f
      Huang Ying authored
      APEI ERST firmware interface and implementation has no multiple users
      in mind.  For example, if there is four records in storage with ID: 1,
      2, 3 and 4, if two ERST readers enumerate the records via
      GET_NEXT_RECORD_ID as follow,
      
      reader 1		reader 2
      1
      			2
      3
      			4
      -1
      			-1
      
      where -1 signals there is no more record ID.
      
      Reader 1 has no chance to check record 2 and 4, while reader 2 has no
      chance to check record 1 and 3.  And any other GET_NEXT_RECORD_ID will
      return -1, that is, other readers will has no chance to check any
      record even they are not cleared by anyone.
      
      This makes raw GET_NEXT_RECORD_ID not suitable for used by multiple
      users.
      
      To solve the issue, an in-memory ERST record ID cache is designed and
      implemented.  When enumerating record ID, the ID returned by
      GET_NEXT_RECORD_ID is added into cache in addition to be returned to
      caller.  So other readers can check the cache to get all record ID
      available.
