Hi Ashok,
I have two questions about this patch, could you help to check:

1, for broadcast #MC exceptions, this patch seems require #MC exception errors
set MCG_STATUS_RIPV = 1.
But for Intel CPU, some #MC exception errors set MCG_STATUS_RIPV = 0
(like "Recoverable-not-continuable SRAR Type" Errors), for these errors
the patch doesn't seem to work, is that okay?

2, for LMCE exceptions, this patch seems require #MC exception errors
set MCG_STATUS_RIPV = 0 to make sure LMCE be handled normally even
on offline CPU.
For LMCE errors set MCG_STAUS_RIPV = 1, the patch prevents offline CPU
handle these LMCE errors, is that okay?

Thanks
