I don't mind as long as I can call it as early as:

->x86_64_start_reservations
|->start_kernel
  |->check_bugs
     |->identify_boot_cpu
        |->identify_cpu
	   |->mcheck_cpu_init
	     |->do_machine_check
	       |->mce_report_event
	          |->mce_schedule_work

because this is the earliest callchain I can see.

Thanks.
