A minor nit for terminology - hardware is always the first one to
detect an error. The difference is whether an error is first reported
to the kernel or firmware. So, "kernel first" or "os first" would be
more appropriate as an alternative to "firmware first". That said,
such wording may be misleading since it does not change the mode.
