I'd rather not because I keep getting all those: amd64_edac doesn't load on my
machine reports. Well, after a while it turns out that it should not load
there in the first place.

And then there's the managerial checkbox patch which needs to add support for
their new model just because... does it even make sense to add support? Oh, we
didn't even think of that but it says "Unsupported" so we thought we should
"fix" the error message... 

So I don't want to have that unnecessary waste of everything. And if a f/m/s
would keep my sanity, then I'm perfectly fine with it.

Only on well-tested and supported configurations. Everything else doesn't
work.
