Huh?

See PATCH v3 03/31:  hw_event: Consolidate uncorrected/corrected error msgs into one

Those events got merged there into one hardware event and one
software error event generated due to a hardware trouble
(mc_out_of_range). 

This patch:
	[PATCH v3 21/31] hw_event: Add x86 MCE events on it

adds the mc_error_mce variant per your request.

What is there is:

$ grep TRACE_EVENT include/trace/events/hw_event.h
TRACE_EVENT(mc_error,
TRACE_EVENT(mc_out_of_range,
TRACE_EVENT(mc_error_mce,
TRACE_EVENT(mc_out_of_range_mce,

And what I've said already is that I'll get rid of 
"mc_out_of_range_mce" in the final version, and convert
"mc_out_of_range" into a generic event to inform that a hardware
error occurred but the driver has a bug and weren't able to 
parse it.

I only added:
	TRACE_EVENT(mc_error_mce,
per your request to have an arch-specific event with both mce-record
data and mc_error information.

For me, only this hardware-error event is needed:
	TRACE_EVENT(mc_error,

Subsequent patches consolidate the drivers to just use one function
call to EDAC core to report the errors:
	edac_mc_handle_error()

That function increments the error counts, gets the associated
label(s) and generate the event. It currently also prints the error
message, to preserve backward compatibility.

Mauro.
