[PATCH] x86/mce: Increase the size of the MCE pool from 2 to 8 pages

[Filippo Sironi]

On some of our large servers and some of our most sorry servers ( :) ),
we're seeing the kernel reporting the warning in mce_gen_pool_add: "MCE
records pool full!". Let's increase the amount of memory that we use to
store the MCE records from 2 to 8 pages to prevent this from happening
and be able to collect useful information.
