If you're sending the patch, you need to be the last on the SOB-chain
and the SOB-chain has to show the proper path the patch took. See
<Documentation/SubmittingPatches>.

You're still reusing those - pls, define your own 'struct miscdevice
mce_chrdev_device' in drivers/xen/ or somewhere convenient and
your own mce_chrdev_ops. The only thing you should be touching in
arch/x86/.../mcheck/ is the export of MISC_MCELOG_MINOR.

Thanks.
