Subject: [PATCH V2 0/6] Enable deferred error interrupts

Deferred errors indicate error conditions that were not corrected, but
require no action from S/W (or action is optional).These errors provide
info about a latent UC MCE that can occur when a poisoned data is
consumed by the processor.

Newer AMD processors can generate deferred errors and can be configured
to generate APIC interrupts on such events.

This patchset introduces a new interrupt handler for deferred errors and
configures the HW if the feature is present.

Patch1: Factor out logging mechanism so we can reuse for deferred errors
	No functional change.
Patch2: Read MCx_ADDR(bank) before calling mce_log(). This fixes an issue
	as currently, amd_decode_mce() will always only print error address
	as 0x0 even if a valid address exists.
Patch3: Defines SUCCOR cpuid bit. This indicates prescence of features
	such as data poisoning and deferred error interrupts in hardware.
Patch4: Implement the interrupt handler.
	- setup vector number, build the interrupt and implement handler
	  function in this patch.
Patch5, Patch 6: Cleanups in the code. No functional changes are introduced.

Changes from V1:
  - Two Prepatches-
	* Factor out logging mechanism so we can reuse for deferred errors
	* Read MCx_ADDR(bank) before calling mce_log() so we get relevant
	  error address printed out on kernel logs
  - Providing short description of Deferred errors here as well as in commit
    message of patch2 (per Ingo, Boris)
  - Adding comments around mce_flags to define the bitfields better (per Boris)
  - Assign truth values using double negation and 'BIT' macros. Vertically
    align statements while at it. (per Boris)
  - Change definitions of 'deferred_interrupt' to 'deferred_error_interrupt';
    DEFERRED_APIC_VECTOR to DEFERRED_ERROR_VECTOR and irq_deferred_count
    to irq_deferred_error_count (per Andy, Boris)
  - Do the BIOS workaround check for all families as we are behind a cpuid
    bit anyway. And print a FW_BUG message as needed. (per Boris)
  - Updating the timestamp of patch to May 2015 in mce_amd.c
