Ok, so I did a little hammering on this one by running a hotplug toggler
script, reading out files under /sys/devices/system/machinecheck... and
suspending to disk and resuming, all at the same time. 'Round 10ish
cycles I did and the box was chugging away happily without any issues.

So, I'm going to queue this one for 3.17, along with the
panic-on-timeout for the default tolerance level one:

if you don't have any objections. I'm saying 3.17 because both are
not really critical stuff and could use a full cycle of simmering in
linux-next just fine.

Thanks.
