Dave Jones had a small parser for these codes:
http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/cruft/parsemce.c

And as it seems the parser lacks a bit of information to completely
decode the message:

~ ./parsemce
Status: (4) Machine Check in progress.
Restart IP invalid.
parsebank(0): 9409c00000000136 @ 0
        External tag parity error

        CPU state corrupt. Restart not possible
        MISC register information valid
