So the above warn came from having DWARF2 EH-frame based stack unwinding
but no CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER. By enabling CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER *and*
removing the DWARF2 EH-frame based stack unwinding patches the warning
I get is slightly different:

I tried looking into this but a later in a later kernel I had enabled
a few other things I had forgotten (like acpi thermal stuff) and then
the kernel just spewed out similar error and unfortunately I was not
able to capture the top but it all seemed related to the above.

I decided to try this:

+
 	kn = kernfs_create_link(parent, name, target);
 	kernfs_put(target);
 

and my system was still useless and even end up in some fun page faults,
but again I think this is all related. I reviewed sysfs / kernfs code
and didn't see issues there with how symlinks are handled so I started
reviewing the driver itself a bit and saw it had strong use of sysfs
on itself and also on helpers such as edac_create_sysfs_mci_device().
I would not be surprised if the issue lies more in there than elsewhere.

I could keep on debugging but I think at this point this is enough
work to at least show the driver does need sync probe. I do not think this
is a core driver issue at this point.
