Subject: [Patch 2/6] x86: mce: Convert mce code to xpanic


commit aea29c4a9324f24b5c61e7c3919a8137a53be935
Author: Andi Kleen <ak@...ux.intel.com>
Date:   Fri Nov 19 18:42:02 2010 +0100

    x86: mce: Convert mce code to xpanic
    
    - Pass in the panic timeout directly instead of
    abusing global variable.
    - Disable backtraces and kexecs on machine check panics
    because they don't do anything useful.
