Unfortunately, the box reporting the ue errors just went into transit (so
that I can better examine this issue), so I will probably not be able to
run this experiment on that specific box until next week.

However, I was able to run it on a very similar box (same pci id for the
mch), and I get:

# ./rdmsr 0x179
c09

# ./rdmsr 0x17b
rdmsr: CPU 0 cannot read MSR 0x0000017b

Thanks,

-Jason
