If a machine check comes from userspace we send a SIGBUS to the task and fail to printk anything. If we are taking machine checks due to bad hardware we want to know about it right away. Furthermore if we don't complain loudly then it will look a lot like a bug in the userspace application, potentially causing a lot of confusion.
