When enabled Firmware First mode in UEFI, we need to
set the cmci_disabled and ignore_ce in mca cfg
that users can check correct status from
"/sys/devices/system/machinecheck/machinecheckXXX/cmci_disabled"

That's the global switch which gets written here for every bank. But
you want to disable it per bank, not globally because the list of banks
arch_apei_enable_cmcff() receives might not be all banks in the system
which are in FF mode.

Then, writing
/sys/devices/system/machinecheck/machinecheckXXX/cmci_disabled from a
different CPU and for a different bank reenables cmci again so you need
to think of a better way how to address the per-bank thing and then to
make it non-modifiable in FF mode so that it cannot be reenabled from
sysfs again.

Thx.
