Hi again Boris.

I should mention one more thing.

m->ip is a u64 so, when compiling x86-32, there's a new warning
"cast to pointer from integer of different size".  This isn't new
different behavior, just a new warning.  The previous print_symbol
took a ulong and the u64 was silently truncated.

  CC      arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.o
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.c: In function ‘print_mce’:
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.c:246:4: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Wint-to-pointer-cast]

If appropriate, the code could be changed to

	(void *)(unsigned long)m->ip

to shut the compiler up.
