Yes, your fix looks identical.  However your changelog makes it sound
a bit less severe that it is: on my system at least, it is an
immediate hard hang the first time sb_edac is loaded, rather than
requiring module unload or any memory errors to trigger.

Anyway I think the fix needs to get merged right away, and your patch
is fine with me.

 - R.
