From: Borislav Petkov <borislav.petkov@amd.com>
Correctable errors are considered something rather normal on modern hardware these days. Even more importantly, correctable errors mean exactly that - they've been corrected by the hardware - and there's no need to taint the kernel since execution hasn't been compromised so far.
