Subject: [PATCH 0/3] x86/mce fixes

The first two just get better error messages when we refuse to recover
from an error that the h/w says is recoverable because the error occurred
in a non-recoverable part of the kernel.

The third improves identification of Skylake SKUs that support
recovery.

Tony Luck (3):
  x86/mce: Improve error message when kernel cannot recover.
  x86/mce: Fix incorrect "Machine check from unknown source" message
  x86/mce: Check for alternate indication of machine check recovery on
    Skylake
