Actually, we have git which can give you all the exact changelog
information you'd need. So instead of adding more to the header, simply
remove all changelog info from there. It is a thing from the past anyway.

You can add those to an amd64_edac section of Documentation/edac.txt.

I want to keep header files as clean as possible. Copyright updates are
fine but everything history-like and unrelated to functionality should
go somewhere else, if at all.

Thanks.
