mcelog

This is a test release towards 1.0. It should become 1.0 with minimal
changes after some more testing. The 1.0 stream has lots of changes
over older releases: new Intel CPU support, a daemon mode, memory DIMM
error tracking, support for bad page offlining using predictive failure
analysis (together with a 2.6.33 Linux kernel), a test suite, and much
more. Note that the 0.9 stream has been abandoned.

Modifier command line options are now allowed
after --ascii. A decoded address is no longer
printed twice for --ascii. The SMBIOS anchor scan
was fixed to work on more machines and no longer
crashes when no anchor is found. --ascii reparsing
of mcelog output was fixed. NONE entries are not
printed in SMBIOS.

--ascii reparsing of mcelog output was fixed.
--filter was added and known broken K8 GART errors
are filtered out. The --ignorenodev argument was
added and is used in the cron script (which avoids
cron errors in Xen guest kernels). The new --dmi
argument was added to resolve machine check
addresses to DIMM numbers in SMBIOS (however, this
is unreliable due to wide-spread BIOS bugs).
Argument decoding was fixed to support -- and to
allow arguments in any order. --ascii was
clarified in the manpage.

This release has a P4 decoder for Intel P4/Xeon machine checks. It has support for DRAM error threshold registers (needs 2.6.15+) in AMD K8 Revision F. The --ascii description in the man page has been clarified.

The K8 decoder from the Linux 2.4 Kernel code was
added to decode Opteron/Athlon64 logs. The --ascii
function was added to decode fatal kernel output.
The manpage was improved. 32-bit bugs were fixed.
An uninitialized variable in check_cpu was fixed.
Minor cleanups were made.
