You'd need to be more specific here, you want to bypass amd64_edac to
decode errors? Judging by the current RAS activity coming from you guys,
I'm thinking firmware. But then wouldn't the firmware do the decoding
for us and then this function is not even needed?

I think you should explain what the use case is first. :)
