    acpi/nfit, x86/mce: Validate a MCE's address before using it · e8a308e5
    Vishal Verma authored
    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.
