Ok, thanks for explaining the details.

I wonder if we could simply move the oneliner:
__register_hotcpu_notifier(&mce_cpu_notifier);
to mcheck_init()? We don't need any locking there because we're pre-SMP
then and from looking at notifier_chain_register(), it seems there's
nothing special that needs initializing for the call to be too early -
we're simply adding the callback to a list...
Hmm, because if that would work, the fix is almost trivial. :)
