Summary

Currently, the MCA code exponentially backs off when throttling correctable errors. It does this by doubling the event limit each time it sees that many events within the throttle period.

This change allows the user to specify a different power-of-2 multiplier when throttling MCA events. This allows users to be more aggressive in limiting interrupts, if they desire.

AFAIK, no one has bemoaned the lack of this feature in the 8 years this has been sitting here. I think it is safe to abandon this.
