And now this tells you that you want to use

	u32 hwid_mcatype;       /* (hwid,mcatype) tuple */

everywhere and do your macros around that thing.

No need for yet another helper as this all is static information which
doesn't change.

+EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(smca_gpu_umc_bank_type);

Definitely not another export.


Right, we already use the tuple thing. Patch 8 in this set uses the tuple to look up (search for) the bank type at runtime. This is in order to get rid of all the per-CPU stuff.

Now I figured it'd be good to have special helpers to do a quick check for the UMC bank types. Because memory errors will be the most commonly reported errors.

But it's likely not important to save a few cycles here. Especially since the helpers will be used in the notifier chain and not in the #MC handler, etc.

I'll think on it a bit more, but this patch and the previous one can likely be dropped.

Thanks,
Yazen
