Currently we just check the "CAPID0" register to see whether the CPU
can recover from machine checks.
But there are also some special SKUs which do not have all advanced
RAS features, but do enable machine check recovery for use with NVDIMMs.
Add a check for any of bits {8:5} in the "CAPID5" register (each
reports some NVDIMM mode available, if any of them are set, then
the system supports memory machine check recovery).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
