[PATCH] x86, mce: Get rid of TIF_MCE_NOTIFY and associated mce tricks

Luck, Tony
2015-01-06T00:44:44Z

We now switch to the kernel stack when a machine check interrupts
during user mode. This means that we can perform recovery actions
in the tail of do_machine_check()

Andy: Should I really move that:
pr_err("Uncorrected hardware memory error ...
inside the ist_begin_non_atomic() section?
