Oh I overlooked those cases; those correctable errors shouldn't be bus errors 
for the user space process?

Hmm I guess there is no simple solution then, since the "recover" function also 
prints the kernel messages about the machine check being in kernel mode without 
having checked whether it really was in kernel mode. In the past the user mode 
check was in between.
