No idea. I figure that our usage will be spotted one day and we will be
told which one to use, maybe even a new taint.

On x86 CPU_OUT_OF_SPEC is used if the user forces pae, sounds reasonable
but I wanted not to imply that this was a CPU issue itself, but relates
to out-of-spec GPU. MCE was broader and can be triggered by other
components failing.
