Those messages won't go out if tolerant level is > 1 AFAICT and from
looking at mce_timed_out() and the machine wouldn't panic, for that
matter.

So what is the actual problem you're seeing?

Cores timeoutting when a machine check happens during entering kdump or
you not wanting cores to panic due to a machine check while the machine
enters kdump?

Something else?
