Can you please then provide this information inside mce-test/README, so
that users are exactly aware of:

     1. Which kernel to pick up, 
     2. Which additional patches to apply, 
     3. Which config options to set,

before building and running these tests.

Once mainline stable releases are through, you can then again update
mce-test/README with similar information.

I would like people to start doing some testing with your present
mce-test as well. As suggested by Andi, please drop in:

     1. a minimal patch which adds the tests(you want) to LTP, 
     2. update mce-test/README in the same patch with all the above
        info, 
     3. attach test results against the patches you have dropped to ltp,
