commit f094a39c6ba168f2df1edfd1731cca377af5f442 upstream.
The machine check validity bit tells about the context. If a KVM guest
was running the bit tells about the guest validity and the host state is
not affected. As a guest can disable the guest validity this might
result in unwanted host errors on machine checks.
