[openib-general] machine check stop

[Steve Wise]

Searching on the web shows this particular "4 bank 4" check when there 
are memory problems.

I was just wondering if bad kernel/module code could cause this, or if 
really indicates a HW system issue, and if anyone else has seen this 
running openib stress tests on X86_64...

Thanx,

Stevo.
