Subject: [PATCH] [17/28] x86: MCE: Add table driven machine check grading


Impact: Feature

The machine check grading (as in deciding what should be done for a given
register value) has to be done multiple times soon and it's also getting more complicated. 
So it makes sense to consolidate it into a single function. To get smaller
and more straight forward and possibly more extensible code I opted towards
a new table driven method. The various rules are put into a table
when is then executed by a very simple interpreter.

The grading engine is in a new file mce-severity.c. I also added a private
include file mce-internal.h, because mce.h is already a bit too cluttered.

This is dead code right now, but will be used in followon patches.
