Subject: [PATCH] x86/mce: Replace hard coded hex constants with symbolic defines

Magic constants like 0x0134 in code just invite questions on
where they come from, what they mean, can they be changed?

Provide #defines for the architecturally defined MCACOD values
with a reference to the Intel Software Developers manual which
describes them.

Ingo: You said "ok up to 100 cols or so" ... this goes to 103.
If this is OK, you can either apply it from here on top of the
x86/mce branch in tip - or I can push it to the ras tree and
send you another pull.
