Subject: [PATCH 3.2 112/140] x86/mce: Make machine check speculation protected

3.2.100-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>

commit 6f41c34d69eb005e7848716bbcafc979b35037d5 upstream.

The machine check idtentry uses an indirect branch directly from the low
level code. This evades the speculation protection.

Replace it by a direct call into C code and issue the indirect call there
so the compiler can apply the proper speculation protection.
