[PATCH] powerpc/powernv/mce: Don't silently restart the machine

2018-03-07 Thread Balbir Singh
On MCE the current code will restart the machine with ppc_md.restart(). This case was extremely unlikely since prior to that a skiboot call is made and that resulted in a checkstop for analysis. With newer skiboots, on P9 we don't checkstop the box by default, instead we return back to the kernel
