Actually, ignore that one. Here's a new pull request adding a fix for an
issue BorisO reported. All non-critical stuff for 3.17.

Please pull,
thanks.

  x86, MCE: Robustify mcheck_init_device (2014-06-24 15:17:01 +0200)

----------------------------------------------------------------
CPU_POST_DEAD is one of thorns in the path to getting CPU hotplug
seriously cleaned up. Kill its incarnation here in the MCE code.

Also, robustify mcheck_init_device() wrt CPU hotplug.
