[Patch V1 1/3] x86, mce: MCE log size not enough for high core parts

[Ashok Raj]

MCE_LOG_LEN appears to be short for high core count parts. Especially when
handling fatal errors, we don't clear MCE banks. Socket level MC banks
are visible to all CPUs that share banks.

Assuming 18 core part, 2 threads per core 2 banks per thread and couple uncore
MSRs. Rounding to 128 with some fudge to grow in future.
