Please add that CPUID bit definition from the commit message here too so
that we know what it means.

		mce_flags.succor = !!(cpuid_ebx(0x80000007) & BIT(1));

is a common way of assigning truth values from bits in the kernel.

You can change the above one to use BIT(0) too, while at it, and
vertically align the assignments.

Thanks.
