On POWER9 DD2.1 and below, it's possible to get Machine Check Exception (MCE) where only DSISR bit 33 is set. This will result in the linux MCE handler seeing an unknown event, which triggers linux to crash.
We change this by detecting unknown events in the MCE handler and marking them as handled so that we no longer crash. We do this only on chip revisions known to have this problem.
