Subject: RE: [PATCH 2/2] x86, MCE: Drain mcelog buffer

void mce_register_decode_chain(struct notifier_block *nb)
 {
 	atomic_notifier_chain_register(&x86_mce_decoder_chain, nb);
+	drain_mcelog_buffer();
 }

Won't this dump all the pended stuff to the *first* guy to
register - but subsequent interested parties will still
miss out?

If so, then we might care who gets here first.
