Ah ok, my bad, I have 4 more patches ontop which should deal with the
channel doubling, please repull the same branch which I've just updated.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bp/bp.git edac-queue

and retest.

And you're right about WIDTH_128 - it actually denotes the channel width
and the code wrongly uses it to say that there are two channels on K8.

However, this has been the case since the driver went upstream and I
need to think a bit harder when correcting that so that I don't upset
something else in it.

Also, it would be very helpful if you send me full dmesg after you've
applied the latest patches so that I can have another reference when
changing the WIDTH_128 thing.

Thanks for your help.
