I agree that 'osc_sb_apei_support_acked' should be checked when
enabling ghes_edac.  I do not know the details of existing issues, but
it sounds unlikely that this will address all of them since bugs can be
everywhere.  For instance, ghes_edac relies on DMI/SMBIOS info, unlike
other EDAC drivers, which can be buggy regardless of this _OSC info.

I agree that making ghes_edac as a normal module is a good thing, but I
do not think it's going to solve this issue.
