The MCE handler for nfit devices is called for memory errors on a Non-Volatile DIMM and adds the error location to a 'badblocks' list. This list is used by the various NVDIMM drivers to avoid consuming known poison locations during IO. The MCE handler gets called for both corrected and uncorrectable errors. Until now, both kinds of errors have been added to the badblocks list. However, corrected memory errors indicate that the problem has already been fixed by hardware, and the resulting interrupt is merely a notification to Linux. As far as future accesses to that location are concerned, it is perfectly fine to use, and thus doesn't need to be included in the above badblocks list. Add a check in the nfit MCE handler to filter out corrected mce events, and only process uncorrectable errors.
