Boris' mail in this thread: |Uh, hm, I'm not sure about this: so the issue I see with this is that |the more we're delaying the enabling or MCE reporting - and especially |setting CR4[MCE] - the more we're increasing the window where a MCE |during early boot will cause a shutdown. (This is what happens if |CR4[MCE]=0b).
