Yes, I mean an #MC exception happened and detect only like SRAO errors 
like below:

         MCESEV(
                 AO, "Action optional: memory scrubbing error",
                 SER, MASK(MCI_UC_AR|MCACOD_SCRUBMSK, 
MCI_STATUS_UC|MCACOD_SCRUB)
                 ),
         MCESEV(
                 AO, "Action optional: last level cache writeback error",
                 SER, MASK(MCI_UC_AR|MCACOD, MCI_STATUS_UC|MCACOD_L3WB)
                 ),

I think these errors are actually encountered on some platforms that 
support these type of errors report to the #MC.
