I don't think this can ever happen. If we were in kernel mode and decided
that the severity was AR_SEVERITY ... then search_mcexception_table()
found an entry for the IP where the machine check happened.
The only way for fixup_exception to fail is if search_mcexception_table()
now suddenly doesn't find the entry it found earlier.
But if this "can't happen" thing actually does happen ... I'd like the panic
message to be different from other mce_panic() so you'll know to blame
me.
Applied all the other suggestions.
