We only want a machine check error to be added to libnvdimm's 'badblock'
if it was an uncorrectable error. Currently we insert both corrected and
uncorrectable errors. Add a check in the nfit mce handler to filter out
corrected mce events.

Looks good, will let this sit in -next until the back half of the merge window.

What is libnvdimm's 'badblock' ?

Also, pls write in the commit message *why* you want only UE errors.

Also, write your commit message in impartial tone, without the "we".

Thx.

Hi Borislav,

Thanks for the feedback, I'll send a new revision with better
explanations in the changelog.

Thanks,
