Subject: [PATCH] Re: [Patch] MCE,
 APEI: Don't enable CMCI when Firmware First mode is set in

HEST for corrected machine checks

Here's a patch that implements this technique. If the firmware advertises
support for firmware first mode in the CMC structure, we disable CMCI and
polling for all the MCA banks listed in the CMC structure.
