In the event that a guest process attempts to access memory that has
been poisoned in response to a deferred uncorrected MCE, an AMD system
will currently generate a SIGBUS error which will result in the entire
guest being shutdown. Ideally, we only want to kill the guest process
that accessed poisoned memory in this case.

This support has been included in qemu for Intel hosts for a long time,
but there are a couple of changes needed for AMD hosts. First, we will
need to expose the SUCCOR cpuid bit to guests. Second, we need to modify
the MCE injection code to avoid Intel specific behavior when we are
running on an AMD host.
