Reading some more of the UEFI 2.5 spec ... I see we are in for a world of pain
here.

2.5 adds some small tweaks to the memory structure (adding a couple of extra
bits to the "row" entry that can be grabbed from the formerly reserved byte
at offset 73).  But then there is a whole new GUID for a "Memory Error Section 2"
which has doubled the width of the device, row, column, rank, and bit_pos fields
together with adding two new fields for chip_id and status.  This will be painful
because we hardwired the old sizes into extlog_mem_event in <ras/ras_event.h>
