[29078.634817] {4}[Hardware Error]:   physical_address: 0x00000040a0602600

[29078.642200] {4}[Hardware Error]:   physical_address_mask: 0xffffffffffffff00

Why is nfit_handle_mce() seeing a 4K address mask when the CPER record
is seeing a 256-byte address mask?

Sigh, is this "firmware-first" causing the kernel to get bad information
via the native mechanisms?

I would expect that if this test was truly worried about minimizing BIOS
latency it would disable firmware-first error reporting. I wonder if
that fixes the observed problem?
