APEI Error INJection
====================
EINJ provides a hardware error injection mechanism. It is very useful
for debugging and testing APEI and RAS features in general.
You need to check whether your BIOS supports EINJ first. For that, look
for early boot messages similar to this one:

ACPI: EINJ 0x000000007370A000 000150 (v01 INTEL 00000001 INTL 00000001)
ACPI: EINJ 0x000000007370A000 000150 (v01 INTEL 00000001 INTL 00000001)
which shows that the BIOS is exposing an EINJ table - it is the
mechanism through which the injection is done.
