I'll let somebody else review the ACPI parts as that's not my
area of expertise, but I'll look at the target/arm parts below:

This block comment should start with '/*' on a line of its own
(as should others in this patch). Usually checkpatch catches these
but it's not infallible.

Rather than introducing a new ifdef with lots of TARGET_*,
I think it would be better to have target/i386/cpu.h and
target/arm/cpu.h do "#define KVM_HAVE_MCE_INJECTION 1"
(nb that the arm cpu.h needs to define it only for aarch64,
not for 32-bit arm host compiles).

and then kvm.h can just do
#ifdef KVM_HAVE_MCE_INJECTION
void kvm_arch_on_sigbus_vcpu(CPUState *cpu, int code, void *addr);
#endif

I don't entirely understand this comment. The x86 version
of this function says:

    /* If we get an action required MCE, it has been injected by KVM
     * while the VM was running.  An action optional MCE instead should
     * be coming from the main thread, which qemu_init_sigbus identifies
     * as the "early kill" thread.
     */

so we can be called for action-optional MCE here (not on the vcpu
thread). We obviously can't deliver those as a synchronous exception
to a particular CPU, but is there no mechanism for reporting them
to the guest at all?
