Just some thoughts:

I noticed that many places only care about the 'mce' structure instead of the new 'mce_hw_err',
such as the EDAC drivers in the notifier chains.

Could we still pass these users with the 'mce' structure instead of 'mce_hw_err',
since they only care about 'mce'? However, they still have the opportunity to
get 'mce_hw_err' from 'mce' on demand with the following macro. [1]

#define to_mce_hw_err(mce) container_of(mce, struct mce_hw_err, m)

So, for those codes that need 'mce_hw_err', they can retrieve it from 'mce'
on demand by:

struct mce_hw_err *err = to_mce_hw_err(mce);

For those codes that don't need 'mce_hw_err', there are
no changes to them. I.e., they do not need to perform the extra operations
like below over and over:

struct mce *mce = &err->m;

If using [1], then it can be:

struct mce_hw_err *err = to_mce_hw_err(data);

If using [1], then continue to pass 'mce' as before:

mce = &node->err.m;
blocking_notifier_call_chain(&x86_mce_decoder_chain, 0, mce);
