So, for intel CPU, LMCE is only for Thread level(or core level) error? If not, suppose 2 threads
share level-2 cache. And thread 0 is active, thread 1 was offlined by SW. When MCE for this level-2
cache occurred, thread 1 will be active. When thread 1 read mcgstatus.lmce, the result will be always 0?

Thanks.
