[PATCH] 2.5.45 - i386 MCA update

Hi,

Attached is the patch with few i386 MCA updates. Summary of changes:
- Logging of corrected (non critical) MCA errors on P4.
- Don't clear the MCA status info. in case of a non-recoverable error. If OS
has failed in logging those,
BIOS can still have a look at that info.
- Minor bug fix in do_mce_timer(). Check current cpu registers too, while
calling smp_call_function().

Thanks,
-Venkatesh
