It seems your patch implicitly includes some bug fix for tip/mce3.
Still discussion of generic lockless ring buffer is going on, so how
about dividing the patch into 2 pieces, for improvement and for bug fix?

Maybe improvement part need to be reworked, so I pulled out the bug fix
part from your patch.

If it's all right, I'd like to put this on top of tip/mce3 asap.


Thanks,
H.Seto

[PATCH] x86, mce: fix mce printing

 - Add print_mce_head() instead of first flag
 - Make header to be printed always
 - Stop double printing of corrected errors

[ This portion is originate from Huang Ying's patch ]
