Sami, Good observation: I do not have a machine check exception. The similarities are: a reported bug on the same line; similar behaviour; and java involved. For reference I copy my kernel bug below (I get several instances of this, only that the next ones are tainted). As soon as I have a problem with the new upstream kernel I will report it back

Dell support instructed to run DSET and BIOS hardware diagnostics. Neither of the tools showed any errors. Dell support said that if there was a hardware error it would have been shown on Dell logs and the probable reason for the dmesg log is a bug in ubuntu kernel MCE reporting. So, is it that following dmesg is because of a kernel bug in ubuntu 14.04 server? [11562.171040] Please check user daemon is running.
