On some x86 systems an MCE interrupt would come in before the kernel
was ready for it. Looking at the latest RT code, it has similar
(but not quite the same) code, except it adds a bool that tells if
MCE handling is initialized. Add the same bool for older versions.

We noticed this issue on a new Broadwell system when we booted RT
on it. This patch is for 3.10, I'm not sure if it applies to
other kernel versions.
Do you mean other 'older' versions? and that this works with the
versions after 3.10 without this patch?
I haven't look at supported kernel versions besides 3.10 and 4.4.
The fix was from the 4.4 version of this code. This patch fixes
v3.10-rt; I can look at finding which other versions need this. I
was planning to do this, but I wanted to get the patch out for
comments first.
