Right, this still causes the error to come out on AMD because the
notifier calls amd_decode_mce().
I guess we can extend the "if (m.usable_addr)" check above with "if
error is not CE" too and only add it to the generic pool when its
severity is anything stronger than MCE_KEEP_SEVERITY...
Also, two more fixes I've done while injecting in a kvm guest I'm
sending as a reply to this message. Will inject on a real box too.
Thanks.
