  x86: Create a new synthetic cpu capability for machine check recovery (2016-02-16 10:31:20 -0800)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Four part patch series to extend exception table
to allow kernel to recover from machine checks.
Provide a sample __mcsafe_copy() routine that uses
this which will be used by libnvdimm.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Tony Luck (4):
      x86: Expand exception table to allow new handling options
      x86, mce: Check for faults tagged in EXTABLE_CLASS_FAULT exception table entries
      x86, mce: Add __mcsafe_copy()
      x86: Create a new synthetic cpu capability for machine check recovery
