I think this should state that the driver will do page retirement for
GPU-managed memory. As written, it implies that the driver do page retirement
in general for the system.

The MCA_STATUS[ErrorCodeExt] field is bits [21:16], so the mask should be
0x3f.

Shouldn't this be "NOTIFY_DONE" if "don't care" about this error?
