If your BIOS doesn't do that it's a good idea to enable though
to make sure you log even machine check events that result
in a reboot.
mce=tolerancelevel (number)
0: always panic, 1: panic if deadlock possible,
2: try to avoid panic, 3: never panic or exit (for testing)
default is 1
Can be also set using sysfs which is preferable.
nomce (for compatibility with i386): same as mce=off
