[PATCH -next v8 0/4]arm64: add machine check safe support

[Tong Tiangen]

Hi all maintainer,

With the increase of memory capacity and density, the memory error
increases，memory errors is the main factor causing server system
downtime, a statistics from intel [1].

For ARM64 server, it is more serious without mc safe copy feature,
feedback from our products, that is why we want to support it on arm64.

Also some new kind of low-reliable memory like HBM（high bandwidth but
low reliability）was introduced，this becomes more of a problem.

We hope the patch set could be incorporated into the community, can you
give me some follow-up suggestions?

Thanks.
