I guess this patch will cause troubles with some memory controllers.

The problem is that, depending on the memory type and how many bits
are wrong, it may not be technically possible to pinpoint an error
to a single DIMM.

I mean, the memory controller can be, for instance, grouping
DIMM1 and DIMM2. If there's just one bit errored, it is possible to
assign it to either DIMM1 or DIMM2, but if there are multiple bits
wrong, most ECC codes won't allow to pinpoint if the error ocurred
at DIMM1 or at DIMM2.

All we know is that the layer has an error.

So, assigning the error to the dimm struct seems plain wrong to me.
