 	to keep working over the upgrade to 2.6.26. At the scheduled time of
 	removal fixed lm-sensors (2.x or 3.x) should be readily available.

+What:   CONFIG_X86_OLD_MCE
+When:	2.6.29
+Why:	Remove the old legacy 32bit machine check code. This has been superseded
+	by the 64bit machine check code, but the old version has been kept
+	around for easier testing. Note this doesn't impact the old P5 and WinChip
+	machine check handlers.
