This just gives us a better panic message. Right? Without this we'd keep walking the
severity table until we hit the "Action required: unknown MCACOD" entry which will
match and force a panic anyway.
So I might look for better wording. As far as the h/w is concerned the thread is continuable.
Linux is just not smart enough (yet) to take the required recovery action.
