Subject: [PATCH 2/7] x86/mce: Grade uncorrected errors for SMCA-enabled systems

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

For upcoming processors with Scalable MCA feature, we need to check the
"succor" CPUID bit and the TCC bit in the MCx_STATUS register in order
to grade an MCE's severity.
