But just because there's existing vendor-specific code in arch/x86 doesn't
necessarily mean we should keep adding to it. So is this okay?
I'd say since it is not so close to the arch/ part, drivers/ras/ is more
fitting IMO. Just like mce_amd is in drivers/edac/.
Okay, then I'll move this set to drivers/ras, if there are no objections
from others.
Which reminds me: why aren't you adding it to
drivers/edac/mce_amd.c
?
That is an MCE decoder *already*.
Because this isn't intended to be only for MCA errors. The translation
code is related to the AMD Data Fabric. And it'll be a common back-end
for memory errors coming from MCA and CXL.
