Subject: [PATCH 16/20] x86/mce: Handle Local MCE events

From: Ashok Raj <ashok.raj@...el.com>

Add the necessary changes to do_machine_check() to be able to process
MCEs signaled as local MCEs. Typically, only recoverable errors (SRAR
type) will be Signaled as LMCE. The architecture does not restrict to
only those errors, however.

When errors are signaled as LMCE, there is no need for the MCE handler
to perform rendezvous with other logical processors unlike earlier
processors that would broadcast machine check errors.
