-mcelog decodes machine check events (hardware errors) on x86-64
-machines running a 64-bit Linux kernel.

+mcelog is the user space backend for logging machine check errors
+reported by the hardware to the kernel. The kernel does the immediate
+actions (like killing processes etc.) and mcelog decodes the logs the
+errors.
+
+Starting with version 2.6.4 for x86-64 and 2.6.32 for x86, the Linux
+kernel no longer decodes and logs recoverable Machine Check Exception
+events to the kernel log on its own. It is recommended that mcelog
+runs on all those machines.
 
 Instead, the MCE data is kept in a buffer which can be read from
 userpace via the /dev/mcelog device node. You need this tool to
 collect and decode those events; it will log the decoded MCE events
-into /var/log/mcelog. Currently, mcelog can decode MCE from AMD K8 and
-Intel P4 (including Xeon) processors.
+into /var/log/mcelog.
