+         Certain usages such as Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA) require
+         more information about the error than what can be described in
+         processor machine check banks. Most server processors log
+         additional information about the error in processor uncore
+         registers. Since the addresses and layout of these registers vary
+         widely from one processor to another, system software cannot
+         readily make use of them. To complicate matters further, some of
+         the additional error information cannot be constructed without
+         detailed knowledge about platform topology.
+
+         Enhanced MCA Logging allows firmware to provide additional error
+         information to system software, synchronous with MCE or CMCI. This
+         driver adds support for that functionality.
