I don't mind as long as I can call it as early as: ->x86_64_start_reservations |->start_kernel |->check_bugs |->identify_boot_cpu |->identify_cpu |->mcheck_cpu_init |->do_machine_check |->mce_report_event |->mce_schedule_work because this is the earliest callchain I can see. Thanks. -- Regards/Gruss, Boris. ECO tip #101: Trim your mails when you reply. --
