+Description:
+ Unused and obsolete after the advent of recoverable machine
+ checks (see last sentence below) and those are present since
+ 2010 (Nehalem).
+
+ Original description:
+
+ The entries appear for each CPU, but they are truly shared
+ between all CPUs.
+
+ Tolerance level. When a machine check exception occurs for a
+ non corrected machine check the kernel can take different
+ actions.
+
+ Since machine check exceptions can happen any time it is
+ sometimes risky for the kernel to kill a process because it
+ defies normal kernel locking rules. The tolerance level
+ configures how hard the kernel tries to recover even at some
+ risk of deadlock. Higher tolerant values trade potentially
+ better uptime with the risk of a crash or even corruption
+ (for tolerant >= 3).
+
+ == ===========================================================
+ 0 always panic on uncorrected errors, log corrected errors
+ 1 panic or SIGBUS on uncorrected errors, log corrected errors
+ 2 SIGBUS or log uncorrected errors, log corrected errors
+ 3 never panic or SIGBUS, log all errors (for testing only)
+ == ===========================================================
+
+ Default: 1
+
+ Note this only makes a difference if the CPU allows recovery
+ from a machine check exception. Current x86 CPUs generally
+ do not.
