It seems that Kconfig's "select" statement doesn't auto-select other things
that are dependencies of the symbol you choose.
CONFIG_MCE_KERNEL_RECOVERY really is dependent on
CONFIG_X86_MCE ... having the code for the __mcsafe_copy()
linked into the kernel won't do you any good without a machine
check handler that jumps to the fixup code.
So I think you have to select X86_MCE as well (or Kconfig needs
to be taught to do it automatically ... but I have a nagging feeling
that this is known behavior).
