[ale] Machine Check Exception

[Chris Fowler]

I'm testing a new x86 based device (really just a small PC type) and on one I'm getting a Machine Check Exception. I'd like to determine the cause of this, but not sure how. 

[Hardware Error]: CPU 2: Machine Check Exception: 4 Bank 0: 9000000020000003

Can I run mcelog on the output on another computer or do I need to run mcelog on the machine with this problem?
