-        * Here's the problem with the K8's EDAC reporting: There are four

-        * BKDG, the overflow bit is never used! Every error always updates the
-        * reporting registers.
-        *
-        * Can you see the race condition? All four error reporting registers
-        * must be read before a new error updates them! There is no way to read
-        * all four registers atomically. The best than can be done is to detect
-        * that a race has occured and then report the error without any kind of
-        * precision.
-        *
-        * What is still positive is that errors are still reported and thus
-        * problems can still be detected - just not localized because the
-        * syndrome and address are spread out across registers.
-        *
-        * Grrrrr!!!!!  Here's hoping that AMD fixes this in some future K8 rev.
-        * UEs and CEs should have separate register sets with proper overflow
-        * bits that are used! At very least the problem can be fixed by
-        * honoring the ErrValid bit in 'nbsh' and not updating registers - just
-        * set the overflow bit - unless the current error is CE and the new
-        * error is UE which would be the only situation for overwriting the
