+Initializes MCE support for use. The u64 mcg_cap parameter
+has the same format as the MSR_IA32_MCG_CAP register and

+Returns: 0 on success,
+ -EFAULT if struct kvm_x86_mce cannot be read,
+ -EINVAL if the bank number is invalid,
+ -EINVAL if VAL bit is not set in status field.
+
+Inject a machine check error (MCE) into the guest. The input

+
+If the MCE being reported is an uncorrected error, KVM will
+inject it as an MCE exception into the guest. If the guest
+MCG_STATUS register reports that an MCE is in progress, KVM
+causes an KVM_EXIT_SHUTDOWN vmexit.
+
+Otherwise, if the MCE is a corrected error, KVM will just
+store it in the corresponding bank (provided this bank is
+not holding a previously reported uncorrected error).

Bits for undefined preemption levels are RAZ/WI.
+ For historical reasons and to provide ABI compatibility with userspace we

Limitations:
- Priorities are not implemented, and registers are RAZ/WI
- Currently only implemented for KVM_DEV_TYPE_ARM_VGIC_V2.
