You might be right, in the sense that maybe the edac error handler shouldn't run as a panic notifier. Let's see if Tony / Dinh can chime in on that discussion - we could move it to run in the kexec event as well, so it'd always run before a kdump, but maybe the risk it offers during panic time is not worth. Again - a matter of a trade-off, a good compromise must be agreed by all parties (kdump maintainers are usually extremely afraid of taking risks to not break kdump).
