I see the MCE on my XPS 9360 also. It's not related to DRAM, as the
physical address is in the non-coherent low MMIO window:
MISC 7880018086 ADDR fef1ce40

Which is declared as device memory:
[ 0.000000] PM: Registered nosave memory: [mem 0xfee01000-0xfeffffff]

For core-generated cycles, it is between the local APIC space at
FEE00000:FEEFFFF and SPI BIOS at FFE00000:FFFFFFFF, so will be
subtractively decoded to the PCH, maybe being aborted due to a device
not being enabled (hello TPM3 or new image processor).

As it is logged as soon as the MCE driver initialises, it was probably
logged during BIOS init, so there's not much we can do about it
anyways.
