Please pull,

  x86, MCE: Robustify mcheck_init_device (2014-06-24 15:17:01 +0200)

----------------------------------------------------------------
CPU_POST_DEAD is one of thorns in the path to getting CPU hotplug
seriously cleaned up. Kill its incarnation here in the MCE code.

Also, robustify mcheck_init_device() wrt CPU hotplug.
