    If it's intended to be something basically stand-alone that doesn't require
    an actual EDAC chipset, it should probably live elsewhere. Otherwise, you get
    into the case of people who don't enable it because they "know" their hardware
    doesn't have an EDAC ability, even if they *could* benefit from the function.

    On the other hand, if it's an EDAC-only thing, maybe under drivers/edac/$ARCH?
