3.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Andi Kleen <a...@firstfloor.org> commit a129a7c84582629741e5fa6f40026efcd7a65bd4 upstream. When running on 32bit the mce handler could misinterpret vm86 mode as ring 0. This can affect whether it does recovery or not; it was possible to panic when recovery was actually possible. Fix this by always forcing vm86 to look like ring 3.
