Well, there are places where we want to keep NOTIFY_STOP.
1) Default case for CEC. We want it to "hide" the corrected error.
That was one of the main goals for CEC. We've discussed cases
where CEC shouldn't hide (when internal threshold exceeded and
it tries to take a page offline ... probably something related to
CMCI storms ... though we didn't really come to any conclusion)
2) Errata. Perhaps a vendor/platform specific function at the head
of the notify chain that weeds out errors that should never have
been reported.

That's there now. See mce_default_notifier()

But may need some refining.

Alternative wording "An EDAC driver should only set the bit if it printed
something useful about the error."
