I've made an AMD64 EDAC backport for RHEL5.4 but since they're using a heavily patched 2.6.18, this'll be of little or no use for you so you might just as well slap the driver into .27 sources and fix it up.
There also might be the need to adjust some EDAC core stuff for which Doug has some patches at the svn repo at http://bluesmoke.sourceforge.net/ but you'll have to do a bit of digging yourself :).
