Subject: EDAC_I82443BXGX still depends on BROKEN

It must become very good stuff when it takes Greg more than 8 months to
brew it... ;-)

Author: Andrew Morton <[email protected]>

drivers/edac-new-i82443bxgz-mc-driver: mark as broken

It will claim the PCI devices from under intel_agp.ko's feet. Greg is brewing
some fix for that.

Yeah, it's driver core rework, the kobject stuff was the first step to
try to get there...

It's slow going unfortunatly other things more pressing keep popping up
ahead of it, it's getting there...

No objection to this patch at all:
