The mcelog utility is not commonly used on AMD systems. Therefore, errors
logged only by the dev_mce_log() notifier will be missed. This may occur
if the EDAC modules are not loaded in which case it's preferable to print
the error record by the default notifier.

However, the mce->kflags set by dev_mce_log() notifier makes the default
notifier to skip over the errors assuming they are processed by
dev_mce_log().

Do not update kflags in the dev_mce_log() notifier on AMD systems.

This one is not related to your 1/2 so it sounds to me like I should
take this one now, independently?

Yes, this can be taken independently. I just tagged it along as I came
across the issue of missing error logs while trying to print error
records in the previous patch.

Thanks,
