[PATCH] x86_64: Log machine checks from boot on Intel systems
The logging for boot errors was turned off because it was broken
on some AMD systems. But give Intel EM64T systems a chance because they are
supposed to be correct there.
The advantage is that there is a chance to actually log uncorrected
machine checks after the reset.
