Yeah, and also, looking at your previous mail, stuff like:

/sys/bus/mc6/devices/dimm0
/sys/bus/mc4/devices/dimm0

doesn't make any sense: why is mc* directly under bus? It should be
under ...bus/edac/mc/...

We'll have to clean it up carefully, when there's time.

Yeah, after sleeping on it I see it the same way - band-aid it now and
clean it up properly later.

Thx.
