Message-Id: <20080103005007.CE13A14D40@wotan.suse.de>

Subject: [PATCH] [12/20] x86: Use a per cpu timer for correctable machine check checking
Previously the code used a single timer that then used smp_call_function
to interrupt all CPUs while the original CPU was waiting for them.
But it is better / more real time and more power friendly to simply run
individual timers on each CPU so they all do this independently.
This way no single CPU has to wait for all others.
