Old mce codes doesn't take bootlog.

One possibility is: if the BIOS doesn't clear status in banks,
new mce codes will try to log such junks.
If the junk is totally junk but can be decoded as a valid log with
MISCV or ADDRV bit, and if the cpu try to access register which is
not implemented (e.g. IA32_MCi_MISC/ADDR), then such access might
cause a general protection exception. (ref. ASDM 3A 15.3.2.3)

I'm just guessing...


Thanks,
H.Seto
