[PATCH v0 00/12] x86/mce: Correct the noinstr annotation

Hi,
here's a first preliminary (it is based on some random 5.16-rc0 commit
and is tested only in qemu) of the series which correct all the noinstr
annotation of the #MC handler.
Since it calls a bunch of external facilities, the strategy is to mark
mce-specific functions called by the #MC handler as noinstr and when
they "call out" so to speak, to do a begin/end sandwich around that
call.
Please have a look and let me know if it looks ok-ish.
Further testing will happen after -rc1 releases, thus the "v0" version
here.
Thx.
