I understand that this is bit long window. But we are in MCE handling code and if we hit MCE while doing that we may anyway end up with recursive MCE interrupts without really be able to recover from it. Instead lets risk checkstop which would get us rebooted with hostboot throwing proper error call out. -Mahesh.
