Hi Nikolay,

There is a typo in the $SUBJECT.

The call is actually a noop because when the MCE is raised the early
notifier is the only call site that correctly calls mce_notify_irq()
because it also sets mce_need_notify. So let's just remove this call,
which allows to unexport mce_notify_irq.


The commit message should be in passive and imperative voice.

"So let's just remove this..." -> "Remove this..."

With this change, there are no users of mce_notify_irq() outside of
mce/core.c. So you could go further and make the function static to
core.c.

In other words, you could squash the second patch into this one.

Thanks, I've incorporated those in V2 that I sent.


Thanks,
Yazen
