RE: [PATCH 6/6] x86-mce: ensure the MCP timer is not already set in the mce_timer_fn.

[Luck, Tony]

+	/* Ensure a CMCI interrupt can't preempt this. */
+	local_irq_save(flags);
 	if (mce_available(__this_cpu_ptr(&cpu_info))) {
 		machine_check_poll(MCP_TIMESTAMP,
 				&__get_cpu_var(mce_poll_banks));

Does this remove the problem that you fixed in part4?  If a CMCI can
no longer interrupt a poll ... do we really need the locks you added?
