Subject: [PATCH 2/2] x86/mce: Honour bios-set CMCI threshold
The ACPI spec doesn't provide for a way for the bios to pass down
recommended thresholds to the OS on a _per-bank_ basis. This patch adds
a new boot option, which if passed, allows bios to initialize the CMCI
threshold. In such a case, we simply skip programming any threshold
value.
As fail-safe, we initialize threshold to 1 if some banks have not been
initialized by the bios and warn the user.
Changes:
- Use the mce_boot_flags structure.
- Expose bios_cmci_threshold via sysfs.
