Kernel now detecting cpu core faults? Two thumbs up.

My CPU shows as: AMD Phenom II X4 B60 Processor (3671.47-MHz), But in fact it's an X3-B60, with the 4th core unlocked by the BIOS.

I was running poudriere today and dmesg gave this message:

MCA: Bank 1, Status 0x9400000000000151
MCA: Global Cap 0x0000000000000106, Status 0x0000000000000000
MCA: Vendor "AuthenticAMD", ID 0x100f53, APIC ID 3
MCA: CPU 3 COR ICACHE L1 IRD error
MCA: Address 0x801cb2ca0

That's just awesome! The kernel now warns of problems on faulty core (which is why my CPU is an X4, priced and sold as X3).
