Thanks William for the review.

I think this is a good suggestion. I think it could be a bit more verbose.
Please see below.

Thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] EDAC/amd64: Comment on which dram_type to use

A copy of enum mem_type was added to struct amd64_umc so that memory
type can be properly identified on each independent Unified Memory
Controller.

Add a comment to the original struct amd64_pvt variable to indicate it
shouldn't be used on newer systems.
