Offline CPUs just sitting in idle. The specific error here is a PCC=1, so irrespective of what happens We do capture the errors in the per-cpu log, and kernel would panic. What specifically this patch tries to achieve is to leave an error sitting with MCG-STATUS.MCIP=1 and another recoverable error would shut the system dowm.
