Subject: [RFC PATCH 2/9] amd64_edac: Remove polling mechanism

From: Borislav Petkov <borislav.petkov@....com>

Switch to reusing the mcheck core's machine check polling mechanism
instead of duplicating functionality by using the EDAC polling routine.

Correct formatting while at it.

-	 * that a race has occured and then report the error without any kind of

-	 *
-	 * What is still positive is that errors are still reported and thus

-	 * error is UE which would be the only situation for overwriting the
