This is done deliberately on some systems and is why we have the patches
I submitted to Andrew Morton which are in his tree and allow you to set
"panic_on_unrecovered_nmi" to halt on a memory error.

See the -mm tree. The functionality is there. Also see the various
x86-64 logging tools which can parse out MCE based reports.

I could find your code in the -mm tree. It looks good :-)
But just one point, isn't it better to use die_nmi() instead of panic()?
