Yeah, this is not really decoding it - I need to address that case of
uncorrectable MCE not being decoded too.

In any case, it is not E383:

MC4_STATUS[Val|Over|UC|EN|MiscV|PCC|UECC|EEC: GART cache table walk encountered an invalid PTE (0x05)|ET: TLB(tt:GEN;ll:LG)]: 0xfa0020000005001b

And those should actually be masked out:

"BIOS is recommended to mask GART table walk errors by setting the bit
in MSRC001_0048 corresponding to F3x40[GartTblWkEn]."

And we disable those but for some reason, it doesn't stick :-)

Do

# modprobe msr
# rdmsr -a 0x00000410
# rdmsr -a 0xc0010048

as root.

Thanks.
