Subject[PATCH 4/6] x86/mce: Add mechanism to safely save information in MCE handler
Machine checks on Intel cpus interrupt execution on all cpus, regardless
of interrupt masking. We have a need to save some data about the cause
of the machine check (physical address) in the machine check handler that
can be retrieved later to attempt recovery in a more flexible execution
state.
