Using an older kernel I get actual MCE messages that I can write down
and decode using mcelog.

It looks like the MCE handler is buggy in current kernels and will cause
a panic instead of the MCE messages (or maybe in addition to and the
panic obscures them by scrolling them out of my 80x25 screen).

Is there a howto or wiki somewhere on how to parse mcelog decoded
messages?
