Subject: [PATCH v9 1/3] x86/mce: Remove old CMCI storm mitigation code
When a "storm" of CMCI is detected this code mitigates by
disabling CMCI interrupt signalling from all of the banks
owned by the CPU that saw the storm.
There are problems with this approach:
1) It is very coarse grained. In all likelihood only one of the
banks was generating the interrupts, but CMCI is disabled for all.
This means Linux may delay seeing and processing errors logged
from other banks.
2) Although CMCI stands for Corrected Machine Check Interrupt, it
is also used to signal when an uncorrected error is logged. This
is a problem because these errors should be handled in a timely
manner.
Delete all this code in preparation for a finer grained solution.
