Linux has some support for ECC error detection:

	http://www.anime.net/~goemon/linux-ecc/

I've ported ECC 0.12 to a FreeBSD kld and it seems to work.

A  couple of minor changes:

   commented out probe_450gx because the compiler was
   giving some plausible warnings

   check if ecc_mode == ECC_NONE before installing the timer

I've attached it and would welcome any comments. I've also
posted it back to the Linux ECC people.
