The relocation is causing unneeded churn for no apparent reason.

Nah, let's call it mcheck_parse_boot_param...

> 	 mcheck_disable		 mcheck_setup_old

and leave this like this. "nomce" is the same as "mce=off" and frankly,
I'd like to remove this redundancy, thus no need to do the code
relocation. In addition, I don't think there are lots of systems running
with "nomce" so I really think we should drop it.

So Ingo, hpa, what is the proper way to remove early setup params? Maybe
through Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt?

Please remove "Disabled by default on AMD." while you're at it, since
this is not true anymore.
