I would prefer not to get into an argument of if it is the perfect example or 
not.
I would prefer to get the job done and move forward.

We have RAS functionality in other ASICs that is not dependent on 
CONFIG_X86_MCE_AMD.
So, I don't think we would want to do that just for one ASIC.
Maybe Alex D. has an opinion on it.

As I had mentioned in my previous comment, I am fine with wrapping around my 
code with
#ifdef CONFIG_X86_MCE_AMD and exporting smca_get_bank_type().
I hope we can move forward with this approach.
