That means there were no VALID=1, EN=1, S=1 errors anywhere.  But there
might be some other things logged that would help us understand.

We are into cpu errata territory here though ... we aren't supposed to get
machine checks that don't have a logged cause.  We panic for spurious
machine checks because we know something has gone horribly wrong,
even if we don't know what that something was.
