That is a printf from the kernel. You can see the source here.
/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/mcheck/non-fatal.c
The best reference I could find on the meaning of that register is
here. Sandpile.org is a fine reference for the x86 OS/assembler
developer, BTW, but it came up short this time -- doesn't say what
exception 00000151 is. Anyone know of a better source for IA32
register descriptions?

Look at MCn_STATUS.
Googling for the text of the error message implies that it usually
indicates flaky RAM or motherboard.
Have you seen that message many times or just once? Is it Intel or
AMD?
