Ok, sending the two patches I've massaged into submission as a reply to
this message - please run them on your boxes. You can also inject MCEs
on the AMD box to verify - simply enable CONFIG_X86_MCE_INJECT, go to
debugfs and do, for example:

cd /sys/kernel/debug/mce-inject/
echo 10 > /sys/devices/system/machinecheck/machinecheck0/check_interval
