Machine Check Summary
0 No async machine check exception pending
1 Async machine check exception pending
Set when a machine check exception occurs
that is handled in the asynchronous fashion.
One of MCSR bits 1:7 will be set simulta-
neously to indicate the exception type. When
MSR[ME] and this bit are both set, Machine
Check interrupt is taken.

6 DCSP
Data Cache Search Parity Error
0 Exception not caused by DCU Search parity error
1 Exception caused by DCU Search parity error
Set if and only If the DCU parity error was dis-
covered during a DCU Search operation.
See Data Cache Parity Operations on
page 129.
7 DCFP
Data Cache Flush Parity Error
0 Exception not caused by DCU Flush parity error
1 Exception caused by DCU Flush parity error
Set if and only If the DCU parity error was dis-
covered during a DCU Flush operation.
See Data Cache Parity Operations on
page 129.
8 IMPE
Imprecise Machine Check Exception
0 No imprecise machine check exception occurred.
1 Imprecise machine check exception occurred.
Set if a machine check exception occurs that
sets MCSR[MCS] (or would if it were not
already set) and MSR[ME] = 0.
