+What:	CONFIG_X86_OLD_MCE
+When:	2.6.32
+Why:	Remove the old legacy 32bit machine check code. This has been
+	superseded by the newer machine check code from the 64bit port,
+	but the old version has been kept around for easier testing. Note this
+        doesn't impact the old P5 and WinChip machine check handlers.
