    x86/MCE: Add an MCE-record filtering function · 45d4b7b9
    Yazen Ghannam authored
    Some systems may report spurious MCA errors. In general, spurious MCA
    errors may be disabled by clearing a particular bit in MCA_CTL. However,
    clearing a bit in MCA_CTL may not be recommended for some errors, so the
    only option is to ignore them.
    
    An MCA error is printed and handled after it has been added to the MCE
    event pool. So an MCA error can be ignored by not adding it to that pool
    in the first place.
    
    Add such a filtering function.
