I finally got the bad dimm in hand - running the latest version
of mcelog, I don't see anything reported in the log. (I verified
that mcelog was reporting events via mce-inject.)

So I've moved the dimm around to all three systems Sandy, Ivy Bridge and Haswell.
And this driver is populating '/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/ue_count' correctly
when a userspace memory scanning program also report errors. So the driver appears
to be doing the right thing.

I've tested:

CPU E3-1270 v3 @ 3.50GHz : 8086:0c08 (haswell)
CPU E3-1270 V2 @ 3.50GHz : 8086:0158 (ivy bridge)
CPU E31270 @ 3.40GHz : 8086:0108 (sandy bridge)

I still don't see any evidence of CMCI doing anything as the "THR" entry in
/proc/interrupts doesn't budge off of 0.

Let me know if you'd like me to look at anything else...

Thanks,

-Jason
