I have a dim, distant memory that somebody (Tony Luck?) wrote a program
that loaded all the registers, generated a recoverable MCA or INIT then
verified that the registers still matched. Google did not find it.
Any pointers?

I wrote a program that sounds a lot like that. It does the bit
about saving registers, and checking them. But it is left as
an exercise for the user to generate the MCA.
The program is at:

The Altix memory error injection program is good a creating MCAs.
Started running it with Keith's new patch. It's worked so far,
with no obvious regressions. Testing continues...
