One other thought. Instead of the run-time test to see if this is an AMD processor on every call
to this function, would it be cleaner to:

1) Rename existing mce_severity() function to mce_severity_intel()
2) Declare a function pointer named mce_severity.
3) Assign that pointer to the _intel() or _amd() function in mce_init()
Yes, of course. We do that (or at least pretty close) in other paths
too.



Ok, I'll work on this and prepend the changes to the current version of the patch.
Would you prefer the changes be in a separate patch or lump it in along with current version?

Thanks,
