    KVM: set_msr_mce: Permit guests to ignore single-bit ECC errors · 0471a7bd
    Lev Kujawski 提交于
    Certain guest operating systems (e.g., UNIXWARE) clear bit 0 of
    MC1_CTL to ignore single-bit ECC data errors.  Single-bit ECC data
    errors are always correctable and thus are safe to ignore because they
    are informational in nature rather than signaling a loss of data
    integrity.
    
    Prior to this patch, these guests would crash upon writing MC1_CTL,
    with resultant error messages like the following:
