Subject: [PATCH] x86/mce: Always save severity in machine_check_poll()
The MCE severity gives a hint as to how to handle the error. The
notifier blocks can then use the severity to decide on an action.
It's not necessary for machine_check_poll() to filter errors for
the notifier chain, since each block will check its own set of
conditions before handling an error.
Also, there isn't any urgency for machine_check_poll() to make decisions
based on severity like in do_machine_check().
If we can assume that a severity is set then we can use it in more
notifier blocks. For example, the CEC block could check for a "KEEP"
severity rather than checking bits in the status. This isn't possible
now since the severity is not set except for "DEFFRRED/UCNA" errors with
a valid address.
Save the severity since we have it, and let the notifier blocks decide
if they want to do anything.
