Bullshit.

An MCI is a memory controller descriptor. That doesn't fit the GHES
platform devices that get probed. GHES platform device != MCI. How many
times do I need to say this for it to get through to you?

And the error counters of that "simulated" mci get incremented depending
on which pointer gets passed in from GHES? More bullshit.

So let me know if you don't want to do it and rather would prefer to
pointlessly debate. I certainly don't want to waste my time debating.
