Actually, the rough idea is to go a couple steps further and carry
RAS-related events using the perf infrastructure. A userspace daemon
then uses perf tool code to open a tracepoint in userspace and do
whatever it wants with that info. When this is done, you won't need
printk and the sysfs part of edac anymore - edac will only do mainly
DRAM ECC to DIMM decoding.

Robert and I are working on this currently and gladly welcome any help.
Here are some more concrete examples of what we want to do/what we're
working on:
