So this is an old branch, lemme kill it.

AFAIR, we talked about this already. You need to disable CONFIG_EDAC_GHES
temporarily as it registers before the sbridge module.

kern  :info  : [   26.382523] ghes_edac: This EDAC driver relies on BIOS to enumerate memory and get error reports.
kern  :info  : [   26.392439] ghes_edac: Unfortunately, not all BIOSes reflect the memory layout correctly.
kern  :info  : [   26.401574] ghes_edac: So, the end result of using this driver varies from vendor to vendor.
kern  :info  : [   26.411001] ghes_edac: If you find incorrect reports, please contact your hardware vendor
kern  :info  : [   26.420137] ghes_edac: to correct its BIOS.
kern  :info  : [   26.424812] ghes_edac: This system has 8 DIMM sockets.
kern  :info  : [   26.430737] EDAC MC0: Giving out device to module ghes_edac.c controller ghes_edac: DEV ghes (INTERRUPT)
kern  :info  : [   26.441401] EDAC MC1: Giving out device to module ghes_edac.c controller ghes_edac: DEV ghes (INTERRUPT)
kern  :info  : [   26.452619] GHES: APEI firmware first mode is enabled by APEI bit and WHEA _OSC.

We're working on fixing this properly but the fix is not ready yet.

Thanks.
