Okay, I'll include a short description of deferred errors here for V2.

Yeah. I meant to provide a comment at least for this.
Forgot to do that.

I'll print out a error message as you suggested (considering we do this 
in other places like threshold setup or IBS setup..)

Right. I think a __log_error() is a good idea.
Except, in amd_threshold_interrupt(), we have-
m.misc = ((u64)high << 32) | low;

which, is actually useless as we don't use m.misc anywhere in 
amd_decode_mce() or anywhere else in the decoding pipeline AFAICT.
We only print out if 'misc' is valid and we only need status bits for that-
((m->status & MCI_STATUS_MISCV) ? "MiscV" : "-"),

But, more importantly, we don't setup 'm.addr' here (in 
amd_threshold_interrupt() or in amd_deferred_error_interrupt())
Which means anytime we pass an error to be decoded from the interrupt 
handlers, we don't get any info about the error address.

So, we can do one of these-
1. Remove m.misc setup in amd_threshold_interrupt() and 
rdmsrl(MSR_IA32_MCx_ADDR(bank), m.addr) before we call mce_log()
2. Since we have mce_read_aux() that reads misc and addr registers, we 
can move the mce_[rd|wr]msrl wrappers and mce_read_aux() into mce.h and 
use it here in mce_amd.c

Thoughts?

Thanks,
