EDAC and RAS and feature?!

Oh boy.

EDAC == RAS.

"feature" is silly.

Looking at the code below, you're registering an EDAC device.
- edac_ras_dev_register().

So why isn't this thing in edac_device.c?

So each "feature" would require a separate struct type?

Why don't you define a *single* struct which accomodates any RAS
functionality?

Thx.
