We can always define synthetic ones and set them after having checked
MCA capability bits, f/m/s, etc., maybe even based on the list you're
supplying...

You mean this?

                /*
                 * overflow_recov is supported for F15h Models 00h-0fh
                 * even though we don't have a CPUID bit for it.
                 */
                if (c->x86 == 0x15 && c->x86_model <= 0xf)
                        mce_flags.overflow_recov = 1;

If so, that's just an improvement which makes MCi_STATUS[Overflow] MCEs
non-fatal.
