Lev Kujawski 0471a7bd1b KVM: set_msr_mce: Permit guests to ignore single-bit ECC errors 
Certain guest operating systems (e.g., UNIXWARE) clear bit 0 of
MC1_CTL to ignore single-bit ECC data errors.  Single-bit ECC data
errors are always correctable and thus are safe to ignore because they
are informational in nature rather than signaling a loss of data
integrity.

Prior to this patch, these guests would crash upon writing MC1_CTL,
with resultant error messages like the following:

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
