Subject: Backporting to v5.6: fd258dc4442c ("x86/mce: Add Skylake quirk for
 patrol scrub reported errors")

Hello!

We are looking at backporting fd258dc4442c ("x86/mce: Add Skylake quirk
for patrol scrub reported errors") to v5.6.  When accompanied by these
guys, it passes our usual kernel smoke-testing:

1df73b2131e3 ("x86/mce: Fixup exception only for the correct MCEs")
1de08dccd383 ("x86/mce: Add a struct mce.kflags field")

Could you please let us know if there any non-obvious prerequisites we
should also be backporting?

							Thanx, Paul
