SubjectRe: [RFC PATCH 1/2] EDAC/ghes: Add EDAC device for the CPU caches

I'm not so sure about that because you're lumping all the cache
hierarchies together and there might be L3 slices on some x86
incarnations, for example, which do not belong to the core you're
reporting the error for... It would need to be tested though.

Also, if this is a firmware-first mode, then I would expect the firmware
to also report which cache triggered the error and thus not need any OS
glue at all.

Therefore ARM only and I'd need an ACK from ARM folks whether they want
it this way.

Thx.
