You're making the old mistake:

a. a naked MCE record in dmesg, you have to open the PPRs and actually decode
it by hand. Or use a tool but most of the time, that tool is not updated with
the latest error definitions, and you need the exact machine info in order for
the tool to decode properly, yadda yadda...

b. Get a fully decoded error string in dmesg.

What is better: a) or b) ?
