Patches 3/4, 4/4 in this patchsets are using these functions. Specifically, 
"[PATCH v3 3/4] x86/mce: Add Zhaoxin CMCI support " in this patchsets is
using intel_init_cmci(), "[PATCH v3 4/4] x86/mce: Add Zhaoxin LMCE support"
is using intel_init_lmce() and intel_clear_lmce().

I had sent all patches in this patchsets to your mailbox. Could you help to
check again? Thank you.
