It's better if you test different things ... that's how we get better coverage.

I haven't re-run the mce-test cases for a while. The test that was run on these patches
involves a multi-threaded application running on all logical CPUs. When poison is injected
many of the CPUs can hit the poison close together. So it's a good stress test for the new
series.
