I dont know why he does this >anyways, it seems completely pointless. mce.c mce.h and mce_intel.c are moved from x86_64 to i386. so the patch is very big. The motivation is to share mce code between x86_64 and i386 and avoid duplicate code in x86_64 and i386. I don't know whether I completely understand what you point.
