No, it doesn't because it does a bunch of MCA-specific things too.

Just add this to mce.c in a pre-patch:

void mce_mc_callback(void *arg)
{
	if (quirk_no_way_out)
		quirk_no_way_out(i, m, regs);
}

I'm still not madly in love with it but I can't think of something
better. Maybe Tony would have a better idea...
