You guys are way off here: the intent of EDAC drivers is to accurately
report errors for purposes of counting them and doing analysis on
that collected data as to whether components are going wrong - not to
ratelimit them as some nuisance output.

With breaking the EDAC reporting, you're barking up the wrong tree - if
you don't want to see those errors, do not load the drivers. It is that
simple.
