Subject: x86: unifying the 32 and 64 bit machine check handlers

Is anybody currently working on combining the machine check handlers for
32-bit and 64-bit x86? If there is interest I could post some rough
patches to get this started.

thanks,
Max

sure, please do! I'd suggest to work against tip/master:

http://people.redhat.com/mingo/tip.git/README

as there's tons of x86 changes queued up already.

(ideally we'd like to see mcelog to work on 32-bit as well.)

suggest for now on:
merge should be change xxx_32.c xxx_64.c step by step till them become
all the same. So we can track the change for every file for both arch

like io_apic_32.c/io_apic_64.c apic_32.c/apic_64.c, sort the functions
at first...
