I am using a cricket bat to beat BIOS teams that implement eMCA to make
sure they get the labels in SMBIOS right. :-)

It's a non-trivial implementation effort to get all the decoding done for
the eMCA log. It's typically a simple string change to fix the SMBIOS
table ... there has been some resistance - but so far I have been victorious.
Wish me luck as I'm about to engage with another team.
