Ok, I went and rewrote the text to make it more succinct, to the point
and correct spelling and formatting.

Tony, ACK?

Subject: [PATCH] x86/mce: Handle broadcasted MCE gracefully with kexec

When we are about to kexec a crash kernel and right then and there
a broadcasted MCE fires while we're still in first kernel and while
the other CPUs remain in a holding pattern, the #MC handler of the
first kernel will timeout and then panic due to never completing MCE
synchronization.

Handle this in a similar way to as when the CPUs are offlined when that
broadcasted MCE happens.
