Note that when you really have a flood of uncorrected errors you'll
likely die soon anyways as something unrecoverable is very likely to
happen. Error memory recovery cannot fix large scale memory corruptions,
just the rare events that slip through all the other memory error correction
schemes.

So I wouldn't worry too much about that.

The flooding problem is typically more with corrected error reporting.
