Perhaps this would be nicer still with the "mce:" prefix
on all the log lines with the overall description emitted
first.  It could help make grepping the log a bit easier.

[  xxx.xxxxxx] mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check events logged
[  xxx.xxxxxx] mce: {1}Hardware error detected on CPU15
[  xxx.xxxxxx] mce: {1}Above error has been corrected by h/w and require no further action
[  xxx.xxxxxx] mce: {1}event severity: corrected
[  xxx.xxxxxx] mce: {1} Error 0, type: corrected
[  xxx.xxxxxx] mce: {1}  section_type: memory error
[  xxx.xxxxxx] mce: {1}  physical_address: 0x0000001057eb0000
[  xxx.xxxxxx] mce: {1}  DIMM location: Memriser3 CHANNEL A DIMM 0

grammar: s/require/requires or maybe required
