    x86/xen: disable Firmware First mode for correctable memory errors · d759af38
    Juergen Gross authored
    When running as Xen dom0 the kernel isn't responsible for selecting the
    error handling mode, this should be handled by the hypervisor.
    
    So disable setting FF mode when running as Xen pv guest. Not doing so
    might result in boot splats like:
    
    [    7.509696] HEST: Enabling Firmware First mode for corrected errors.
    [    7.510382] mce: [Firmware Bug]: Ignoring request to disable invalid MCA bank 2.
    [    7.510383] mce: [Firmware Bug]: Ignoring request to disable invalid MCA bank 3.
    [    7.510384] mce: [Firmware Bug]: Ignoring request to disable invalid MCA bank 4.
    [    7.510384] mce: [Firmware Bug]: Ignoring request to disable invalid MCA bank 5.
    [    7.510385] mce: [Firmware Bug]: Ignoring request to disable invalid MCA bank 6.
    [    7.510386] mce: [Firmware Bug]: Ignoring request to disable invalid MCA bank 7.
    [    7.510386] mce: [Firmware Bug]: Ignoring request to disable invalid MCA bank 8.
    
    Reason is that the HEST ACPI table contains the real number of MCA
    banks, while the hypervisor is emulating only 2 banks for guests.
