Well, yeah. My case is also related to uncorrected errors and ECC
memory. I want to improve the handler that is invoked for
uncorrectable ECC errors. Once this sort of error occurs, it gives the
address where the error happened. And if we can identify the processes
involved with that memory, the handler can just kill them rather than
panicking the kernel.

I don't really know how the above in-tree code will be helpful in my
case. Can you please explain it a little to me?
