Subject: [GIT PULL] For x86/mce ... enhanced error logs

Ingo,

Ultimate plan is to use these enhanced error logs to feed a
perf/trace event ... but we are still discussing the exact
format of that, and also how it should interact/complement/replace
the existing EDAC trace event.  Meanwhile all this precursor work
has been reviewed and agreed on by Mauro, Boris & others ... so
it can be queued for the next merge window while we continue work
on the trace event.
