Applied, but then reverted as I realised it appears to change Xen's MCE ABI
without consideration of backward compatibility. Obviously that is not
acceptable.
It seems that generally you guys have issues with the existing machine-check
interfaces, and your inability to modify them now they are a fixed part of
the ABI. Do we need to discuss ways to work around this in a way that
doesn't break older guests?
