[PATCH 1/4] x86, mce: Enable MCA support by default

From: Borislav Petkov
Date: Fri Oct 07 2011 - 11:28:23 EST


From: Borislav Petkov <borislav.petkov@xxxxxxx>

MCA is the most basic support for hardware error collection and
reporting, and it is majorly unwise to run without it so enable machine
check software support by default on x86.

Machine Check support allows the processor to notify the
kernel if it detects a problem (e.g. overheating, data corruption).
