Interesting.  I was told from other distro that there were many buggy
firmwares out there that prevented to enable ghes_edac.  Do you know if
Ubuntu has any plan to address such issue?  Or do they not see such
issue?  I do not test with other vendors' platforms, so I cannot tell
exactly what those bugs are...
