RE: [PATCH] x86/mce: Check for hypervisor before enabling additional error logging

I still think there is a reasonable case to claim that this usage is right to check
whether it is running as a guest.

Look at what it is trying to do ... change the behavior of the platform w.r.t. logging
of memory errors. How does that make any sense for a guest ... that doesn't even
know what memory is present on the platform. Or have guarantees that what it sees
as memory address 0x12345678 maps to the same set of cells in a DRAM from one
second to the next?
