not at the moment, but I have the k8_edac.c EDAC driver in my queue, which was in the -mm tree but
I had to pull it back once.

I am working with the k8 driver and its dealing with a race with the mcelog device as both access
the K8 NB. The K8 driver does use these regs and it currently has #ifndef s in it for both of
them.

I guess I could have submitted the patch when the K8 driver was submitted.
