I'm not sure what you're trying to archive, but if you're
trying to catch corrected MCs you're hooking into the
wrong function. print_mce is only called for PCC=1.

Also if you're checking for specific banks you
need to check for vendor/cpu model first of course.
In your current implementation e.g. a Intel CPU
would pass some random event into your AMD specific code,
which is probably not intended and might even crash.

It would be probably cleaner if you defined a standard
notifier chain interface.
