On Intel X86 we leave the counting and threshold decisions about cache
health to the hardware. When a cache reaches the limit, it logs a "yellow"
status instead of "green" in the machine check bank (error is still marked
as "corrected"). The mcelog(8) daemon may attempt to take CPUs that share
that cache offline.
