So when the driver sees uncorrected errors, I'm also seeing them in my
memory scanning program - so they correspond nicely. I didn't see anything
logged in /var/log/mcelog, but I will update to the latest when possible.

# for i in `seq 0 8`; do ./rdmsr 0x28$i; done
40000001
40000001
0
40000001
0
40000001
40000001
40000001
40000001

So looks like cmci is eenabled on the banks. But like I said on the box with the ue errors I
didn't see 'THR' or 'MCE' increment in /proc/interrupts.

I do have all the above systems. The one with the memory errors in a Sandy Bridge. On
the other systems I can only say that the driver loads and reports the rank information
correctly. IE I haven't hit the error paths on those.
