The platform can sometimes - depending on its settings - cause writes to MCA_STATUS MSRs to get ignored, regardless of HWCR[McStatusWrEn]'s value. For further info see PPR for AMD Family 19h, Model 01h, Revision B1 Processors, doc ID 55898 at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=206537. Therefore, probe for ignored writes to MCA_STATUS to determine if hardware error injection is at all possible.
