Subject: [PATCH 1/7] x86/mce: Handle an in-kernel MCE decoder

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@...e.de>

Change the MCE decoding flow to issue the trace_mce_record() tracepoint
only when there's no decoder registered on the decoder chain. If there
is, it will do some massaging on the MCE info before issuing it through
the tracepoint.
