The MCA_IPID register uniquely identifies a bank's type on Scalable MCA (SMCA) systems. When an MCA bank is not populated, the MCA_IPID register will read as zero and writes to it will be ignored. On a hw-type error injection (injection which writes the actual MCA registers in an attempt to cause a real MCE) check the value of this register before trying to inject the error. Do not impose any limitations on a sw injection and allow the user to test out all the decoding paths without relying on the available hardware, as its purpose is to just test the code.

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.
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.
