Subject: [PATCH] i386, entry_32/mce: add do_machine_check

A distinct pattern exists in the handler stubs for traps. The mce
is slightly different and that is not necessary. This adds an extra
indirection via a trivial C function and makes the assembly code
equivalent to the other trap stubs.

No functional change intended.

impact: prepare for introduction of zeroentry/errorentry macros
