One more thing: You should check MCG_LMCE_P *first* and only read
MSR_IA32_FEATURE_CONTROL if MCG_LMCE_P is set - otherwise this'll start
blowing up on older machines which don't sport that new MSR and on kvm.

Also, why do we need to look at MCG_SER_P for LMCE?
Btw, we do that already in __mcheck_cpu_cap_init() so you could check
mca_cfg.ser here instead.
