Well, I think that's ok because the MASK() macro actually makes the
check do:
look at bits MCI_STATUS_UC|MCI_STATUS_DEFERRED|MCI_STATUS_POISON and of
them three MCI_STATUS_DEFERRED has to be the only one set.
And that makes sense - we want deferred errors where we didn't attempt
to consume poisoned data (which is signalled by MCI_STATUS_POISON)....
Provided I'm reading this mce_severity thing correct, of course - more
often than not I don't because it is insanely ugly and hard to read.
