Does succor imply smca?

Because you have now this order:

	deferred_error_interrupt_enable(c);

	...

	configure_smca(bank);

and that one tests mce_flags.smca

Now, if succor didn't imply smca, we'll enable the DF irq handler for
no good reason on (succor=true && smca=false) systems.

If the implication is given:
