Regarding Edac support on E8400 processor.

Hi,

I am trying to enable and test EDAC functionality on my desktop running
2.6.39 kernel. But I do not see any EDAC support in /sys/devices (e.g.
support for parity errors enable/disable for PCI devices etc.).

Could someone please advice if I am missing anything? Is EDAC completely
not supported for E8400 (I do not see the kernel module for this one)?

P.S. Below are few of the details:
