From c6de9f08912311ddc1b3502b90e10fd449acd401 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Huang Ying Date: Mon, 31 May 2010 16:48:09 +0800 Subject: x86, mce: Add HW_ERR printk prefix for hardware error logging This makes hardware error related log in printk log more explicit. So that the users can report it to hardware vendor instead of LKML or software vendor.
