Hi Tony,

I verified that at least the memory sizes, ie the 'size_mb' files
are correct on the old h/w. I don't have bad dimms atm to test
the old h/w error paths though. That said this driver does get a
lot indirect testing here (just from being loaded), - so I would
likely find out if there were regressions.

Thanks,
