But EDAC is not only about memory errors. Why not extend this into
something which does other RAS functionality instead of doing a second
one which is more or less related?

mce_amd is already loaded on the system, why add a second module if it
can be part of the first one just the same?

Strictly speaking, this all should've been drivers/ras/ from the very
beginning and all EDAC should move there but that's going to be madness
to do now.

Thx.
