Not specific to your patch, but in general, Machine Check might happen
while MSR:EE is off... which means the kernel might dislike printk being
called from the MC handler under some circumstances (for example,
re-entering printk itself in places it doesn't expect to be).

Might be worth, when the MC is recoverable, to try to "defer" the
printout to some real irq or timer irq
