I did think about that :-). But the machine_check_powernv_early code
does bit of extra stuff which isn't required in pseries like touching ME
bit in MSR and lots of checks that are done in
machine_check_handle_early() before going to virtual mode. But on second
look I see that we can bypass all that with HVMODE FTR section. Will
rename machine_check_powernv_early to machine_check_common_early and
reuse it.

Err... This is by mistake.. My bad. Thanks for catching this. Will
remove this hunk in next revision. We need a similar print for pSeries
in ras.c.

In real mode calling fwnmi_release_errinfo() causes kernel panic.
Couldn't debug further to find out why. So decided to keep it in virtual
mode. I have mentioned that in comment below in
pSeries_machine_check_realmode().

Thanks for your review.
