It turns out the people who reported the crash to me were running an
experiment, but they were able to find one machine they hadn't yanked
the AEP DIMMs out of yet.

It was a cascade lake, so I had to yank the CPU family match check to
ensure that your fix was actually exercised. I can confirm now that it
booted successfully.
