 Machine check

+   mce=off
+		Disable machine check
+   mce=no_cmci
+		Disable CMCI(Corrected Machine Check Interrupt) that
+		Intel processor supports.  Usually this disablement is
+		not recommended, but it might be handy if your hardware
+		is misbehaving.
+		Note that you'll get more problems without CMCI than with
+		due to the shared banks, i.e. you might get duplicated
+		error logs.
+   mce=dont_log_ce
+		Don't make logs for corrected errors.  All events reported
+		as corrected are silently cleared by OS.
+		This option will be useful if you have no interest in any
+		of corrected errors.
+   mce=ignore_ce
+		Disable features for corrected errors, e.g. polling timer
+		and CMCI.  All events reported as corrected are not cleared
+		by OS and remained in its error banks.
+		Usually this disablement is not recommended, however if
+		there is an agent checking/clearing corrected errors
+		(e.g. BIOS or hardware monitoring applications), conflicting
+		with OS's error handling, and you cannot deactivate the agent,
+		then this option will be a help.
+   mce=bootlog
+		Enable logging of machine checks left over from booting.
+		Disabled by default on AMD because some BIOS leave bogus ones.
+		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. On Intel systems it is enabled by default.
    mce=nobootlog
 		Disable boot machine check logging.
-   mce=tolerancelevel (number)
+   mce=tolerancelevel[,monarchtimeout] (number,number)
+		tolerance levels:
 		0: always panic on uncorrected errors, log corrected errors
 		1: panic or SIGBUS on uncorrected errors, log corrected errors
 		2: SIGBUS or log uncorrected errors, log corrected errors
 		3: never panic or SIGBUS, log all errors (for testing only)
 		Default is 1
 		Can be also set using sysfs which is preferable.
+		monarchtimeout:
+		Sets the time in us to wait for other CPUs on machine checks. 0
+		to disable.
