Which types exactly do you mean when you're looking at the severities[]
array in severity.c?

And what scenario are you talking about?

To get an #MC exception and detect only UCNA/SRAO errors? Can that even
happen on any hardware?


Yes, I mean an #MC exception happened and detect only like SRAO errors like below:

MCESEV(
AO, "Action optional: memory scrubbing error",
SER, MASK(MCI_UC_AR|MCACOD_SCRUBMSK, MCI_STATUS_UC|MCACOD_SCRUB)
),
MCESEV(
AO, "Action optional: last level cache writeback error",
SER, MASK(MCI_UC_AR|MCACOD, MCI_STATUS_UC|MCACOD_L3WB)
),

I think these errors are actually encountered on some platforms that support these type of errors report to the #MC.
