I don't see anything in the name of EDAC that implies hardware only...a software memory scrub could be considered "error detection and correction". Might have to update the config help text though.


Software memory scrub would no longer be a "driver" :-). So it should
go into kernel/scrub or mm/scrub or maybe mm/edac or something.

True enough. In that case, something under "mm" makes more sense to me than something under "kernel".
