That's already supported in MCE -- saving the error record to NVRAM
and logging it after reboot. NMI should probably do the same.
It's much nicer than getting it from a console.

Today's servers should usually have AER at least.

For old systems you only can get the few bits in PCI space.

Would need a buffer that is dumped for past events and 
reading the registers for not yet reported. Right now some
infrastructure is needed.
