Well from what I see 603ad... would only fix the case of printing the
values correctly on boot, by removing the factor=1 shift. However, that
is merely cosmetic as it does not affect the actual calculation of
nr_pages. I guess maybe I wasn't completely clear before, but I see the
doubling of the amount of memory both on boot via dmesg, but also in
/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/size_mb and all of the csrow* subdirs
therein.
