Hm, that doesn't work:

EDAC amd64: F10h detected (node 0).
EDAC MC: DCT0 chip selects:
EDAC amd64: MC: 0:  1024MB 1:  1024MB
EDAC amd64: MC: 2:  1024MB 3:  1024MB
EDAC amd64: MC: 4:     0MB 5:     0MB
EDAC amd64: MC: 6:     0MB 7:     0MB
EDAC MC: DCT1 chip selects:
EDAC amd64: MC: 0:     0MB 1:     0MB
EDAC amd64: MC: 2:     0MB 3:     0MB
EDAC amd64: MC: 4:     0MB 5:     0MB
EDAC amd64: MC: 6:     0MB 7:     0MB
EDAC amd64: using x4 syndromes.
