RIPV
When set, this bit indicates that the instruction addressed by the 

instruction pointer pushed on the stack (when the machine check 

was generated) can be used to restart the program. If this bit is 

cleared, the program cannot be reliably restarted.

1

EIPV
When set, this bit indicates that the instruction addressed by the 

instruction pointer pushed on the stack (when the machine check 

was generated) is directly associated with the error.

2

MCIP
When set, this bit indicates that a machine check has been 

generated. If a second machine check is detected while this bit is 

still set, the processor enters a shutdown state. Software should 

write this bit to 0 after processing a machine check exception.
