Ah, looks like half the MCE stuff is not even hooked up the mce boot
parameter. Well, I expect Christoph Egger can help: he implemented a lot of
the MCE mechanism, and especially the AMD parts.

I think the mce boot parameter should, when disabled, cause the MCE feature
bits to be removed from Xen's copy of CPUID feature flags. That would easily
disable all MCE logic throughout Xen.
