[David Wang]

This patch set is to provide MCA support on new Centaur CPU. 

The first patch is used to tell the kernel that newer Centaur CPU support 
MCE broadcasting.

The second patch is used to tell the kernel that newer Centaur CPU support 
CMCI.

Are some specs or manuals available somewhere on the web for those?

Thx.

Nah, not needed. As long as the code paths don't break anything else and
as long as we can CC you to fix bugs people report, we're good. :-)

Btw, please do not top-post on a public ML.
