Hi Chen Gong, sorry for late reply, we're planning to remove old static
coded mce-test from LTP, and use it as a submodule, which means,
mce-test won't be static-coded any more, it's always synced up with your
upstream version, we just need to do some manual ``submodule update``
operations to checkout your version when doing a LTP release. So I'll
merge this patch in, remove all current out-of-date codes, and wait for
your notice of mce-test's next version, so that we can include it in our
next LTP stable release.

Thanks,
Caspar
