This all looks pretty good to me, you can probably update these
changelogs now because you are hooking it into memory failure.

I wonder if it would be worth skipping the instruction analysis and
page table walk if we've recursed up to the maximum MCE depth, just
in case we're hitting MCEs in part of that code or data.

Thanks,
