Ok,
looks good.
A couple of issues though:
You need to prepare your patches against tip/master (which contains
tip/x86/mce) because there are MCE changes in tip and they conflict with
your changes.

This looks ok but I think it would be even better if it went into
mce-internal.h where all the mce-only stuff can be collected in a
private struct so that we don't pollute the global MCE namespace.
Then you can call the struct simply
struct boot_flags
since it is private to mce code.

Why do we need that extern thing?

Those could be combined into a function similar to device_show/store_int
pairs but working on a bitfield.
Maybe later.
