Well, *everything* the kernel does is in some way connected to a CPU, 
because we always execute the kernel on a CPU, still we have things like 
discrete PMUs and abstractions for other pieces of hardware that are not 
per CPU.

So the real question is, is there a signifcant class of MCE events that 
are not tied to the reporting channel which is per CPU (-ish ...) MCA 
banks?

Thanks,

	Ingo
