Update documentation for parameter *notrigger* in einj.txt
Add description of parameter notrigger in the einj.txt. One can utilize this new parameter to do some SRAR injection test. Pay attention, the operation is highly depended on the BIOS implementation. If no proper BIOS supports it, even if enabling this parameter, expected result will not happen. v2: Update the documentation suggested by Tony Suggested-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Chen Gong <gong.chen@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

The EINJ mechanism is a two step process. First inject the error, then

perform some actions to trigger it. Setting "notrigger" to 1 skips the

the target of the error injection. Whether this actually works depends

BIOS versions based in the ACPI 4.0 specification have limited options
