That's why I suggested a __log_error_deferred() - a separate function
which deals with deferred errors.

So the normal status MSR says whether we have a deferred error or not.
If it says we don't, then we have to look at the DE* MSRs, correct?

If yes, then do it exactly like this.

Not:

        IF deferred:
                log
        ELSE IF SMCA:
                IF deferred:
                        log

but:

        IF deferred:
                log_deferred:
                        log
                        IF cannot log from normal MSRs
                                log from DE

Why are we even wasting time with this?!
