Hello,

does this logic apply to "Unrecoverable System Reset" as well?

I don't know, I don't think I have any way the generate a System Reset on my board to check it.

Thanks

Michal

Looks like book3s/32 doesn't set RI on machine check, so
checking RI before calling die() will always be fatal
allthought this is not an issue in most cases.

Fixes: b96672dd840f ("powerpc: Machine check interrupt is a non-maskable interrupt")
Fixes: daf00ae71dad ("powerpc/traps: restore recoverability of machine_check interrupts")
