I'm not sure we want to disable printk recursion for add_taint() - it
doesn't spit out any useful information wrt MCE so we could ignore it.

Btw, I forgot to ask: this printk recursion disabling, do you have a
real usecase where you don't get the MCE info in dmesg and with your
patch it works or is this purely hypothetical?

Thanks.
