This is mostly harmless.. since the MCG_CAP space is shared and has no
conflict between vendors. Also just the CAP being set has no effect.

The Guest OS needs to opt-in and the SIGBUS indicating SRAR are the only 
ones that are treated special treatment. Also Intel was the only one
broadcasting MCE's.. so we are like the rest now :-)
