I know that, I'm following the discussion. I needed the functionality in
EDAC and that's why I added them _temporarily_ to the mix so that the
whole series (esp. the MCE bits) can see some testing. Which obviously
caught some issues :).

But I'm very well aware that the patches are not final and they will go
through x86 when done. This is what I told Stephen when upping them for
linux-next.

Sorry if I've caused any misunderstanding.
