static. You need function wrappers which call the notifier from the
module.

Also, why atomic? x86_mce_decoder_chain is a blocking one.

Also, the whole notifier adding thing needs to be a separate patch.

And yes, as Toshi points out, the other EDAC drivers - sb_edac, skx_edac
and amd64_edac - should call this function in their init functions so
that it can get selected which driver to load on HPE server platforms.

Also in a separate patch pls.

Thx.
