The name looks inconsistent with the style of other MachineClass virtual
methods. What about the name like "notify_xxx"? And pls add the comment
about this new method.
BTW, I found this method is called in generic_error_device_notify() of
Patch 6. And the mc->generic_error_device_notify() - as the virtual
metchod of MachineClass looks just to implement a hook, and it doesn't
seem to have anything to do with MachineClass/MachineState, so my
question is why do we need to add this method to MachineClass?
Could we maintain a notifier list in ghes.c and expose an interface
to allow arm code register a notifier? This eliminates the need to add
the “notify” method to MachineClass.

Zhao
