Subject: [PATCH 09/10] MCE: run through processors with more severe problems first
From: Tony Luck <tony.luck@...el.com>
Instead of letting cpus run through the MC bank scanning code
in the order that they turned up in the handler, we arrange to
deal with those that have more severe problems (mcgstatus.ripv=0)
first. This will make life simpler in the case that banks are
shared between processors, since the cpu with the problem will
see it and clear it, leaving the other cpu(s) that share the
bank with nothing to do.
