I should note that there are 2 pending patches from you:

[BUGFIX -v2] x86, mce, inject: Make injected mce valid only during faked handler call
  for issue A) injected mce could be consumed by real poll handler  

[BUGFIX -v7] x86, MCE: Fix bugs and issues of MCE log ring buffer
  for issue B) log buffer is too small
  and for issue C) log buffer is not ring buffer
  (I'm not sure but there might be other targeting issues D), E) and so on.)

And the only one what I believe it is urgent is issue B).


Thanks,
H.Seto
