x86 32-bit machine check handler

[Max Asbock <masbock@us.ibm.com>]

Now that the 32-bit and 64-bit x86 machine check handlers live next to
each other a certain asymmetry in functionality is apparent. Notably,
the 64-bit machine check handler implements a timer that periodically
polls for silent machine check errors and makes them accessible to user
space through /dev/mcelog. Are there reasons the x86 32-bit machine
check handler couldn't do the same?

thanks,
Max
