That looked broken to me too, I did not put to much effort in fixing
the grain yet. So I just took the edac_mc version first in the
assumption, that one is working.

It looks like the intention here is to limit the grain to the page
size. But right, the calculation is wrong here. I am also going to
reply to your patch you sent on this.

The +1 looks odd to me also for the edac_mc driver, but I need to take
a closer look here as well as some logs suggest the grain is
calculated correctly.

I will do some further examination here and also respond to your
patch.

Thank you for review.
