Actually, I would prefer if you wrapped all the arch-specific calls into
arch-specific functions, say, convert

apei_mce_report_mem_error -> apei_arch_report_mem_error

and have default empty functions for arches which don't use that
functionality.

This way you can save yourself the ugly ifdeffery around the place.

This could be

	if (arch_disable_cmcff())
		return 1;

with the default stub being

static inline bool arch_disable_cmcff(void)
{
	return false;
}

and so on, like it is done in many other places in the kernel.

Thanks.
