Subject: [PATCH 8/8] x86/mce/AMD: Set MCAX Enable bit

From: Aravind Gopalakrishnan <Aravind.Gopalakrishnan@....com>

It is required for the OS to acknowledge that it is using the MCAX
register set and its associated fields by setting the 'McaXEnable' bit
in each bank's MCi_CONFIG register. If it is not set, then all UC errors
will cause a system panic.
