Thanks!
I took that, and some of Boris's changes, and stirred it altogether at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ras/ras.git mcsafev6
First commit is just your patch from above (patch wouldn't apply it
directly because of other nearby changes, but I think I didn't break
it)
Second commit pulls the core of fixup_exception() into separate
functions for each class
Third adds a new class that provides the fault number to the fixup
code in regs->ax.
Fourth is just a jumble of the rest .. needs to be split into two
parts (one for machine check handler, second to add __mcsafe_copy())
Fifth is just a hack because I clearly didn't understand what I was
doing in parts 2&3 because my new class shows up as '3' not '1'!
Andy: Can you explain the assembler/linker arithmetic for the class?
