In case of an instruction processing damage (IPD) machine check in kernel mode
the resulting action is always to stop the kernel.  This is not necessarily
the best solution since a retry of the failing instruction might succeed.  Add
logic to retry the instruction if no more than 30 instruction processing
damage checks occured in the last 5 minutes.
