[PATCH 3/3] x86, MCE, AMD: Disable error thresholding bank 4 on some models

From: Borislav Petkov
Date: Wed Apr 25 2012 - 11:52:52 EST


From: Borislav Petkov <borislav.petkov@xxxxxxx>

Turn off MC4_MISC thresholding banks on models which have them but that
particular processor implementation does not supply applicable error
sources to be counted.
