Subject: [PATCH] acpi/nfit, x86/mce: Validate a MCE's address before using it
The NFIT machine check handler uses the physical address from the mce
structure, and compares it against information in the ACPI NFIT table
to determine whether that location lies on an NVDIMM. The mce->addr
field however may not always be valid, and this is indicated by the
MCI_STATUS_ADDRV bit in the status field.
Export mce_usable_address() which already performs validation for the
address, and use it in the NFIT handler.
Fixes: 6839a6d96f4e ("nfit: do an ARS scrub on hitting a latent media error")
