Don't forget about the usability of the driver. If a user has to go open manuals when an error happens, you could just as well report naked register values and have a tool decode them. And this strategy (mcelog) turned out to be a real PITA, IMO. > Future or existent next generation may re-define them. You could easily have a strings array of per-family or per-soc error descriptions. For an example, take a look at drivers/edac/mce_amd.c which decodes MCEs on all relevant AMD machines. This is much more user-friendly than dumping register values which most people have no idea of where to start looking (and they don't really need to). HTH. -- Regards/Gruss, Boris.
