[PATCH V2 3/5] x86/mcheck/AMD: Reduce number of blocks scanned per bank

From: Aravind Gopalakrishnan
Date: Fri Jan 15 2016 - 18:42:57 EST


>From Fam17h onwards, the number of extended MISC register
blocks is reduced to 4. It is an architectural change
from what we had on earlier processors.

Changing the value of NRBLOCKS here to reflect that change.

Although theoritically the total number of extended MCx_MISC
registers was 8 in earlier processor families, in practice
we only had to use the extra registers for MC4. And only 2 of
those were used. So this change does not affect older processors.
Tested it on Fam10h, Fam15h systems and works fine.
