CMCI will bump up the "THR" (Threshold) entries in /proc/interrupts.

MCG_CAP bit 10 tells you whether a given processor implements CMCI.
If that is set - then MCi_CTL2 bit 30 indicates whether a given bank
supports it (Linux tries to set this bit, if it sticks, then it knows that CMCI
is supported - Linux also assigns ownership of the bank to the first cpu
to successfully set it (since a bank may be shared by multiple threads/cores
on a package).

Consumed uncorrectable errors should generate a machine check. Which
on the E3-12xx series will be a fatal machine check: MCi_STATUS.PCC=1
