Subject: Re: [PATCH] x86, mce: short output of MCE banks ownership information

Seems OK, but I think it would be even more useful to find a way to
print fewer lines of output; with CPUs that will be released shortly, a
system with 64 or even 128 logical CPUs will not be will not be that
exotic, and producing 128 lines of kernel log output for debugging
information that is rarely used and where the same info can be expressed
in 2 or 3 lines is silly-looking (and very annoying on a 57600 bps
serial console!).
