amd64_edac was converted to CPU family autoprobing (from PCI device
IDs) to not have to add a new PCI device ID each time a new platform is
shipped but to support the whole family out-of-the-box.
However, this caused a lot of noise in dmesg even when the machine
doesn't have ECC DIMMs or ECC has been disabled in the BIOS:
EDAC MC: Ver: 3.0.0
EDAC amd64: F17h detected (node 0).
EDAC amd64: Node 0: DRAM ECC disabled.
EDAC amd64: F17h detected (node 1).
EDAC amd64: Node 1: DRAM ECC disabled.
EDAC amd64: F17h detected (node 2).
EDAC amd64: Node 2: DRAM ECC disabled.
EDAC amd64: F17h detected (node 3).
EDAC amd64: Node 3: DRAM ECC disabled.
EDAC amd64: F17h detected (node 4).
EDAC amd64: Node 4: DRAM ECC disabled.
EDAC amd64: F17h detected (node 5).
EDAC amd64: Node 5: DRAM ECC disabled.
EDAC amd64: F17h detected (node 6).
EDAC amd64: Node 6: DRAM ECC disabled.
EDAC amd64: F17h detected (node 7).
EDAC amd64: Node 7: DRAM ECC disabled.
or even
$ grep EDAC dmesg.log | sed 's/\[.*\] //' | sort | uniq -c
128 EDAC amd64: F17h detected (node 0).
128 EDAC amd64: Node 0: DRAM ECC disabled.
1 EDAC MC: Ver: 3.0.0
on a big machine. Yap, that's once per CPU for 128 of them.
So move the init messages after all probing has succeeded to avoid
unnecessary spew in dmesg.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
