Instead of using local_mcck_disable() / local_mcck_enable() implement and use local_mcck_save() / local_mcck_restore() to disable machine checks, and restoring the previous state. The problem with using local_mcck_disable() / local_mcck_enable() is that there is an assumption that machine checks are always enabled. While this is currently the case the code still looks quite odd, readers need to double check if the code is correct. In order to increase readability save and then restore the old machine check mask bit, instead of assuming that it must have been enabled.

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.
