I think you could calculate the size using MAX_NR_BANKS.

But I'd like to change the format to shorter one at same time,
So how about the following?

Thanks,

[PATCH] x86, mce: rework output of MCE banks ownership information

The output of MCE banks ownership information on boot tend
to be long on new processor which has many banks:

CPU 1 MCA banks SHD:0 SHD:1 CMCI:2 CMCI:3 CMCI:5 SHD:6 SHD:7 SHD:8 SHD:9 SHD:12 SHD:13 SHD:14 SHD:15 SHD:16 SHD:17 SHD:18 SHD:19 SHD:20 SHD:21

This message can fill up the console output when the number
of cpus is large.

This patch suppress this info message on boot, and introduce
debug message in shorter format instead, like:

CPU 1 MCE banks map: ssCC PCss ssPP ssss ssss ss

where: s: shared, C: checked by cmci, P: checked by poll.

This patch still keep the info when ownership is updated.
E.g. if a cpu take over the ownership from hot-removed cpu,
both message will be shown:

CPU 1 MCE banks map updated: CMCI:6 CMCI:7 CMCI:10 CMCI:11
CPU 1 MCE banks map: ssCC PCCC ssPP ssCC ssss ss

v2:
- stop changing the level of message on update
- change the number of banks message on boot to debug level
