Thread-topic: [RFC] [PATCH 0/2] Some clean-up to MCA handling
These two patches includes some clean-up/changes to MCA handling.

The mce_extended.patch change the method to get the extended MCA information. 
This change is somwhat straightforward and is easy to understand. But please 
notice it changes some interface in include/public/arch-x86/xen-mca.h.

The mce_ops.patch add mca_ops to MCE/polling/CMCI handler, to combine the 
handling process and then wrap mce(intel and AMD)/polling/CMCI with it. I'm 
sorry that it also include some Intel specific changes as listed in intem 'g' 
in corresponding patch description. I tried to maintain it as different patch 
but later found it bring too much extra effort, so I qfold them together.

Christoph/Frank, can you please have a look on the mce_ops method, especially 
the working flow of mcheck_mca_handler and the mca_ops interface definition?

This patchset depends on the two patches I sent out yesterday, but those 
patches are very straightforward and thus I didn't emphasize as RFC.

Thanks
Yunhong Jiang
