I tested this on an AlphaServer ES40 with CONFIG_RAS=y and
CONFIG_EDAC=y. The kernel built and booted successfully, and the
generic EDAC sysfs hierarchy was created under
/sys/devices/system/edac/mc.

Possibly we could adapt this to have EDAC support, I know it was
mentioned on the list:

Either way, this looks good to me,
