Is this something that belongs in the edac > memory controller code, or would it live in /arch/foo somewhere? If it's intended to be something basically stand-alone that doesn't require an actual EDAC chipset, it should probably live elsewhere. Otherwise, you get into the case of people who don't enable it because they "know" their hardware doesn't have an EDAC ability, even if they *could* benefit from the function. On the other hand, if it's an EDAC-only thing, maybe under drivers/edac/$ARCH? --==_Exmh_1233614746_15229P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Exmh version 2.5 07/13/2001 iD8DBQFJh3eacC3lWbTT17ARAsqrAKDNNbwYhjwFzQ3MXRkOi9qqTIOMXgCfZfBp TObEc4Qd+Ohdh/Zr/FmDlec= =j6YP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_1233614746_15229P-- -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
