Right, since the notifier callback fru_mem_poison_nb is on the x86 MCE
chain and since we're making this thing depend on AMD_ATL which depends
on X86_64 currently, it is ok to have struct mce in there.

Once something else outside of x86 wants to use it, it'll have to be
decoupled and use atl_err.

Later...
