That's right.. the thermal interrupts are being reported, that should have
started running cpu's at lower frequencies via some thermald. 
If that's not handled and the PCU starts enforcing trying to keep the temps 
under control system starts logging MCE's. 

Ccing Srinivas who might be able to give a better pointer to check why 
that's not happening.

The log didn't have the exact MCE's reported.. if you have mcelog, please
attach that in the report.
