In that case we should, for consistency, also move machine check code
for other alpha families as well. Some of the machine check errors are for sure
"edac" but the memory/ecc error is just a subset of all the possible machine
check exceptions. Stuff like power supply errors, temperatures and such may not
belong in edac? I guess it would be possible to handle machine check exceptions
caused by memory errors through an edac driver and the rest of the machine
check exceptions through the "regular" alpha machine check handlers.
