Not sure if this should be exposed to user. I don't think it has any
business poking its nose into how the MCE was handled. Or maybe it does
but I cannot think of a good example ATM.

If not, this could be

	...
	void *private;
};

which userspace can't make any assumptions about. And we can put
whatever we need in there...
