It is at: Erm no, first Nehalem isn't a chipset and then it only covers parts of the space (some subset of Nehalems with a specific uncore). This does not include Xeon 75xx where all this is quite different. > I agree. The EDAC module handles memory errors for several memory controllers, > including some on non-x86 architectures. Letting this decode to happen outside > the kernel, just for a very few set of memory controllers, seems a bad idea.
