This tells the kernel to *not* start the MCE timer on a CPU. If the user did not disable CMCI, then storms can occur. When these happen, the MCE timer will be started with a fixed interval. After the storm subsides, the timer's next interval is set to check_interval. This disregards the user's input through "ignore_ce" and "check_interval". Furthermore, if "check_interval=0", then the new timer will run faster than expected. Create a new helper to check these conditions and use it when a CMCI storm ends.
