+What:  CONFIG_X86_OLD_MCE
+When:  2.6.32
+Why:   Remove the old legacy 32bit machine check code. This has been
+       superseded by the newer machine check code from the 64bit port,
+       but the old version has been kept around for easier testing. Note this
+       doesn't impact the old P5 and WinChip machine check handlers.
