Actually what I'd really like is to have a separate RAS subsystem where
we pull in all things RAS. Possibly arch-independent as I'm assuming
other arches would need RAS functionality at some point too.
Currently, all the stuff we're doing is x86-only so arch/x86/ras/ might
be a good place too, if other arches wanna do their own thing or if x86
RAS facilities turn out to be PITA to make arch-independent.
